Hello GR.......

well, this is vague in the Tech Bulletin (TB43-0209...Oct 1990). On some
drawings, it specifies the color to be used on each wheel rim, but not on the
Mutt.

However, if you turn to page 35 (fig 31) you can see the technique used by
the Army....which involves drawing (or at least visualising) vertical lines
where the color changes on the lowest parts of the vehicle body. This gives
"bands" of colors.

If you do this with the M151A2 shown on page 43 (fig.34), you'll find that
all the rims (very conveniently) are within color-band #2.......CARC green
383.

Hope this helps...
Ken
