Jeremy,

That color is coming from the UV screen we put on our outside exhibits for the hot summer sun. It somehow reacted different than from our WW II OD and looks darker. They are all scheduled for repainting. Actually, the HL Pershing color is about right for the M-41, as this is a cold war tank, issued in late 1953. Here are some shots of mine, with everything where it is supposed to be and right color. During this period, the Army was switching to a greener OD and it was not uncommon to see two vehicles with colors that were not the same, but a couple shades off. Note the tow cable on the left fender and spare track blocks next to the driver. Haven't detailed it yet, but the part on the rear of the bussle is the tripod for the cal 30 MG for off tank use. It slips into the half round piece at the right and strapped to the bussle. You could paint it a little off-color (darker) to make it stand out as different, but the half round mount piece is part of the tank. (Paint the hold-down straps a khaki or greenish OD, also on the pioneer tools and water can straps.) You should also scratch-make a gun travel lock for the left rear. HL forgot this. Hope this helps.
