Here are pictures of my Austin original seat, the original colour looks like dark green.

Here is what I can add: Canadian Military Pattern trucks were built to British war Office specs and followed British colour schemes. According to Canadian sources, quoted in Bill Gregg's 'Blueprint for Victory' (p.118, 1981), "Canvas came in sand, khaki and brown, depending on the colour of the truck."

 

Ford parts books describe different canvas colours of Matte Green and Light Stone for the door tops, weathershields and tarpaulins, but not for the seats canvas. I have a set of NOS seat canvas in what must be Matte Green.

 

Here's my original CMP side curtain stowage bag. Colour best described as "Matte Green"(?) Second picture comes close to the real life colour of the canvas.

 

HTH,

Hanno
