Olive Drab # 33070 is a post war camouflage color. It is not a WW II color.
It is being called a WW II color by vendors who sell paint because way back when, someone looked at a copy of FS-595 (Post War Federal Standard color book), turned to the page on greens and said......that one looks close, let's use it.
# 33070 is somewhat close but it is much too gray to be a match for WW II Lusterless Olive Drab.
