Willy's Jeep Color in Iwo Jima, 1945?

Modeling Subjects Armor

I want to put a Willy’s Jeep in an LCM (part of my dio of an LCM and DUKW) landing on the beach in Iwo Jima in 1945.

What color would the Jeep be? Is it the regular color or would they have painted it in the same camo as, say, the DUKW (3-tone scheme) that was also landing on the beach?

I know the LCM would have the same scheme (Measure 21) as the USS Knox APA-46, but can’t find any info on the jeep.

Thanks,

I found this web site:

Great info on Jeeps.

I think i would be safe painting it Forest Green, Sand, and Brown camouflage.

Unless I find more info somewhere else.
