The interior of IJA AFV's were painted silver. Transmission and differential were semi-gloss black. Visible areas of open topped vehicles were painted in the base color, either earth green or parched grass.

Also, it is my understanding that certain components such as the main armament and the covers and ball mounts for MGs were supplied in ‘Ordnance brown’. Photographic evidence suggests that they were not always repainted to match the camouflage scheme.
