    Russian or Soviet green. 

    Prior to 1938, all RKKA vehicles, both armored and soft-skin, were painted in a dark olive green color designated Green 3B.  In 1938, this color was changed to a nearly identical green known as Protective Green 4BO, which persisted as the basic color until the end of the war.

     how did you track that down?

    Searched "fur collar half belt leather coat" which gave amongest other results, "Swedish officer's leather coat". Then searched "Swedish fur collar half belt leather coat", and found a similar looking coat.

    If other parts aren't marked W&G perhaps it is a replacement rather than an original Peerless part. 

    W & G Du Cros Limited also well-known as W & G was a business established in 1901 as a motor importers and dealership by Harvey Du Cros, founder of the pneumatic tyre industry also founder and head of the Dunlop Rubber Company and a major investor in businesses connected to the automobile. It grew into a major taxicab business and car and commercial motor-body builder which manufactured it own brand lorries and passenger vehicles.

    Hello Buddy! Do you mean Acetone and Bleach used T0GETHER?

    I suggest that you search 'change black leather to brown', then you can decide if want to try one of the methods. I've only changed brown to black, no experience of using acetone or bleach so I don't know how good or bad the process is. 

    One method:-
