i use model master fs34087 from what i understand its a very close match ww2 olive drab thats all i use a fellow modeler told me that tamiya olive drab and humbrol are good matches for post ww2 olive drab due to the fact the army after ww2 switched to a darker olive drab and that color would also work for any armored vehicle that was part of the zebra mission such as the t26e3 ( m26 pershing)

Actually, it appears that it is the reverse. FS34087 _is_ post WW II OD (hence the FS number which came about after the war) and the Tamiya OD is a good match with new, from-the-can, WW II OD.
