If I'm not mistaken, lots of WWII stuff sent to Africa wasn't painted sand color, but was covered in mud to mask the Green. ...Or maybe it was just the tanks, but in any case it ended up working out as very good camo!

Subject: [MV] Desert Dodges

I've never seen any pics of Dodge 3/4tonners (WC51, WC52, etc) in a desert
situation. Were they used in North Africa by the Allies, and if so would
they have been sand coloured ? If anyone can point me towards a website
which has photos I wld be most grateful.
