I use Olive Drab for my modern ammo cans (Tamiya's OD looks pretty good, but others should work, too).

They are usually a darker green than OD, with yellow stencilling. I like using Testors MM Dark Green.

I'm with Gino.... I use the MM Dark Green. The WWII ones were more of an OD green than the modern ones.
