If you want the exact paint used to achieve the correct color, you will need to search the web for WWII dated Lusterless Olive Drab #319 green paint. It's still available in original cans. Most restorers use #34087 that is close, but not an exact match, the color is too light. I recently worked on two locks for the 3/4 ton Combat Run Flat rims and the color is definately greenish dark with a tint of gray. Depending on the vehicle you have, what branch it was issued to, and how accurate you want to be, there is also USMC #23 for the same era
