If by "subdued" you mean flat black on forest green rather than gloss black
on gloss yellow, the changeover coincided with the introduction of the
4-color camouflage mandated by TB 43-0209 "Color, Marking, and Camouflage
Painting of Military Vehicles, Construction Equipment and Materials Handling
Equipment", dated October 1976.
Errors on page 43, 49 and 61-62 however still refer to the black/yellow/red
bridge plate. These errors were pointed out in the "Painting" issue of
"Military Vehicles Magazine."
