Things like the Unit Markings, the bumper numbers, would have not been applied until the truck reached the unit it was intended for. The correct paint for those is #24052 Forrest Green.įrom the Factory, the markings on the vehicles would be few. The US Marine Corps used a different paint on their vehicles. Undoubtedly some were in service long enough to possibly have been repainted to the newer 3 color cammo pattern as well leaving all 3 open to use with the Semi Gloss Olive Drab #24087 being original factory stock for the US Army trucks and the 4 color cammo being next in popularity. Many M715s were out of service by then but may have been repainted to the 4 color cammo pattern before being removed from service. The 4 color cammo pattern gave way to the present 3 color cammo pattern, the NATO pattern, in the mid-80's. So any US Army truck built in the era of the M715's would have come out of the factory wearing the #24087. This was used until the 4 color cammo scheme was introduced in the 1975-76 timeframe. It was then replaced with Semi Gloss Olive Drab #24087. From 1944 to 1957, the US Army used Semi Gloss Olive Drab #23070.
