All the USMC ones I've come across (15 or so I guess) seem to just have the
good old standard 383 CARC camo jobs. The Green component of the CARC
scheme is 34094 if memory serves, but I think paint mfg's like Gillespie
just call it "383 Green" in their literature for the sake of convenience.
Awhile ago I heard a rumour that some vehicles were painted using a 'darker
green' as the base colour for the 383 camo scheme, but didn't hear much by
way of explanation, nor were any debunkable specifics offered. <shrug> Eh,
filed away under "Urban Legend".
