Pioneer tools , I tend to paint them the base color of the vehicle, with some wear to the metal parts( mostly on modern armor). Basically , I check my references , on the vehicle , I am modelling , and come up , with a common denominator , and paint from there. The Leopards , we use here in Canada , they are painted the base color of the vehicle, but you are not wrong if you paint , the handles ( I.E. shovels ), a natural wood color. It could be a recently refurbished vehicle , or the tools , got damaged , and they came fresh , from the storesman. I have seen many pics , of WW2 tanks , with the wooden parts of the pioneer tools , in colors ranging from light wood , to a reddish brown. On vehicles with a winter cam pattern , the tools , are usually overpainted with the " white wash".
