I just thought I would chime in my recollections on the Huey armored seat colors.  From 1970 to 1981 the only color that I saw the seats painted was the "brown" Olive Drab.   It you noticed the shoulder harness release mechanism in the pictures by Robert Brackenhoff, a good friend of mine, it is gray.  The seats are OD.  Also the red emergency seat realease levers were secured with copper wire so you could break them easily to flip the seat back.  The pilot doors emergency release  "T" handles were secured with copper wire too.

Clear Left!
