I would probably start with a burnt umber wash. Then add the wear and tear - chipping, worn paint, etc.

Based 5 years serving on M113s. Interior weathering for in the field would be:

1. The floorboards and ramp (interior) would have dirt and clumps of mud.

2. Most of the flat areas of interior would also be covered in dust coming through the hatches and especially the cargo hatch.

3. Painted chipped off on the edges of the engine access panels and the area directly behind the drivers seat.

4. Add some wash to depict oil and water around the engine compartment and the rear of the floor boards closet to the ramp. Especially by the ramp cable.
