Being informed it was a Jeep color in the late 1950's/early 1960's, I was wondering if there was a readily available paint with that tone, which is a browner version of Olive Drab. I bought a can of Tamiya AS-6 USAAF Olive Drab, which definitely seems browner than the typical;l color, but I just cannot decide if that is the proper color.

Unfortunately Vallejo paints are not available in my locale, and it's difficult for me to get paint mail order. I need brands I can buy off the shelf.
