Colors For A FT-17 That The USMC Had Back In 1927

I'm Writing for some answer's about the OD or Maybe Forest Green That The Marine's Used In the 1920's For There Tanks.I guess the main question is would the OD/Forest Green Be The Same Used In WW2 Or Did They Have A Different Shade Back In 1923-1927?

I may have something on this in an old Osprey book by Steven Zaloga. I’ll have to check on that.

Here is some USMC history info with a photo of a restored FT-17, while the USMC museum does not have an FT-17 on display.
