Searchlights & jeeps

Hi all -

Anybody know if the Tank searchlight was ever mounted on the M-38A1 jeep? We
seem to inherited one of each, and would like to put the two together.

Also, we need the correct U.S. Navy paint sheme for the following vehicles:

1943 GPW/MB
1967 Kaiser M-715
LCM Mk. VI (we have a 1/12th scale model for a display)
1944 WC-51 Dodge Weapons Carrier
1954 M-38A1
1971 M-151A2

We are fairly sure of the colors on most, but would like to get a second
opinion, as there is much disagreement on the exact shades.

Also, I need some leads on acquiring the fording gear for the following
vehicles:

M-715 Kaiser
M-151 Ford
M-54A2 5-Ton 6x6 Cargo
M-543A2 5-Ton 6x6 Wrecker

Thanks.

Sincerely,
