So - I was relaxing and shuffling through Janes armor guide. I ran into one AFV that had three photos of different variants of the same AFV, mortar carrier, turret, APC. I noticed that the camo pattern was IDENTICAL on all three on the hull.
Could this be?? Could three go out of the main prod. line with identical camo patters?

Yes, the M113 series basically share the same camouflage pattern regardless of the body style, i.e. FIST-V, M113A3, M1064, etc. Same thing with cargo trucks and other like chassis vehicles.

What is the TM that covers to camoflauge patterns? I used to have one from the 70's and I think the Misses might have made a donation to a local book drive. Did I just say that?

Current TM for 3-color NATO camouflage is TB 43-0209.
