I didn’t know if you had any views of the driver’s station but it was a tad different as well. Although I do not possess a Data Plate from an LVTP7 I do have one from an LVTPX12 which I would guess would be similar; the data plate was located in the TC station about foot&half below hatch lip.
My ballot would be for a Marine finish. I’m sure you are familiar with the older camouflage patterns as they carried over into the LVTP7A1 service time. I have several older magazines and slides that provide a finish that was common on Marine vehicles before the application of multicolor camouflage patterns and look like a throwback to the LVTP5. Although solid green the large tac-numbers and serial # in yellow along with the red and white steps/mooring cleats make it slightly colorful.
I also have pictures of Thai LVTP7s in a multi-shade green camouflage with the Thai MC emblem painted on the bow if that perks your interest.
