It's MERDC, my deuce had that exact same color scheme and it came from the
USMC in Camp LeJeune, NC. The earth yellow is not the right color according
to the manual (TC 5-200), but is substituted for whatever reason. It should
be Forest green, light green, sand and black.
I have pictures if anyone is interested.
Cheers,
