The track link pins attached to the rack on the sides of the sponsons, I'm thinking they should be steel color, but I'm not ruleing out OD green. Anyone know what color they are?

TIA,

Garry

Both, when the vehicle arrived, those items would have been painted OD as mounted on the vehicle. As they were dismounted and used, the paint would have quickly wore off and they would show the metallic color mixed with the earth tone used tracks tend to take on. Then when they were removed from the track and remounted on the hull, they would start to show some signs of rust.
