I know that WarPac vehicles were "green", which varied a lot according to weather, time since last repaint, etc, etc, etc. However, did each WarPac nation use a seperate and/or distinct shade of green? Any vehicle made in a Soviet factory would have been sent out in "Russian" green, but the Poles, Czechs, & Romanians all built Soviet designs on licence. Additionally, no matter what country a vehicle painted Russian green went to, when it came time for it's first repaint, it would no doubt get the local version of green.

So, was there any identifiable rhyme or reason to different "greens" within the WarPac?
