Up until 43 that were German grey in Europe and a dark yellow in North Africa I couldn't tell you about after 43 , all vehicles were dark yellow I couldn't tell you if the Jerry cans and ammo boxes changed though

Re the Jerry Cans, it would seem they also complied with the changes in colours to the vehicles they were carried on:

And the ones that fitted into fighter aircraft were left unpainted aluminium.


A nice article on the ubiquitous 'jerry can' here:

Thanks chaps....... That is an interesting article Steve. You wouldn't think such a simple thing would have so much history about it.
