Aaron,

That was the way they were, with the exception of individual Commanders that
took the shine off.

Hmmm...

I used 24087 (Semi-Gloss OD) on my 1952 M38A1.

Judging by pictures of 'A1s in Korea, which show very dark green shinny
jeeps, I thought that this was the right color for both Korea and possibly
early Vietnam. Am I mistaken?

I should have mentioned that the color also depends
on the era you wish to represent. Restored back to 1952,
then use the late WWll lighter color olive drab. A later
version calls for the darker semi-gloss. I forget the
number. 24087, maybe?
