       I am in the process of reproducing the British manual "Equipment
Regulations, 1959" (with 1966 updates) titled "Marking and Painting of
Vehicles, Army Aircraft and Equipment" and can add to the info already
given on this subject.

   The paints for A series (Armoured) vehicles are;

H1/ 8010-99-910-6730 Deep Bronze Green
H1/ 8010-99-910-6735 Light Stone (for use in the Middle East, Ceylon, Libya)
For the motor:
H1/ 8010-99-910-6737 Sky Blue (brushing paint)
For the interior;
H1/ 8010-99-942-5989 Paint, Aluminium, Fire Resisting (brushing)
H1/
8010-99-942-5990 "" "" '' ''' (spraying)

   Note that the paint used in the interior of armoured vehicles is not
just silver paint but is fire resistant.
Also, all hatches that open outward will be painted green on the inside.

    The exterior paint data is also used on "B" and "C" series vehicles.
