Can someone advise the FS colors for the U.S. Army's camouflage pattern for vehicles (specifically the M151A2 Jeep) during the early - mid 1980's?

I believe it was a four color pattern of green, tan (brown), white and black...

And while we're at it, can you also advise what manufacturer/s would have equivalent colors in a rattle can and/or by the jar?

Thanks!

Hi,
