WD Normandy Jerry Cans

Recently brought back a few in varying degrees of state from the area surrounding an emergency forward refueling airbase.

I want to refurb these along with some ammo boxes.

Some cans have the remnants of Green/brown and some are/were definitely a Sand colour.

I'm assuming the cans are the same as the ammo boxes and a Service Brown, but what was the colour on the sand ones?
Am I right in saying that 43 cans may have been destined for Italy/Sicily and painted Sand, only to be diverted to NW Europe.
Seems odd to have Sand on OD vehicles, although I know the Germans painted a lot of kit there that colour.

So are the light ones BS361 and the dark ones BS499?

 

Thanks
