Period photo from approx. 1943. I draw your attention to the "Invasion Stars" on the hood of the Jeeps
The brown paint was not camo. It was there to save lives. The USA was concerned that Germany would use Mustard Gas (as it did during WWI). That brown paint is a special formula that would turn RED in the event Mustard Gas (not really a gas - more like droplets) was present.
