Stik,
I'm going mostly by this pic:

This shows the "reds" carrying fire extinguishers, while the "yellows" and "greens" and "browns" service the aircraft. I'm not sure what the "yellow jersey" guys are doing behind the officer, but they certainly seem to be pulling something on the aircraft. Of course, this is a Dauntless and the year is 1943.
I'll see if I have anything in my research materials.
