It usually was just a large (varying size) black inverted V. Usually
made with a field expeident stencil. It usually was put on in country.
Remember that most vehicles in the gulf were hastily painted. one
"paint shop" at Camp Pendleton painted vehicles with a spray gun and
no masking of anything. The M.O. was just get close and scrape off
any overspray. Canvas (vinyl) was routinely painted.
I saw vehicles in country painted that way, including brand new Toyota
Landcruisers and Jeep Cherokees. There were also many vehicles that
were still in 3 color camo, too.
Don't forget the dayglo orange ID panel somewhere on top of the vehicle,
usually the hood. It was usually held on with green duct tape (100 MPH
tape).
