I just found an interesting Willys Service Bulletin NO. 544 Nov 29, 1961

SUBJECT: SPECIAL EXTERIOR PAINT COLOR
In current production, all vehicles painted Olive Drab are finished with a new Federal Standard 595 Olive Drab X-24087. The necessary intermix numbers required to order this paint from your local paint jobber for refinish purposes are as follows:


Lacquer: Acme 1744, Ditzler DAL-42955, DuPont (246)-29149, Rinshed-Mason U3742

Enamel: Acme 22-1744, Ditzler DQE-42955, DuPont(93)-29149-H, Rinshed-Mason 2U3742

Bob,

That is a nice piece of evidence that corresponds with many of the paint listings on factory parts drawings that we have found so far.

In the past there has been a lot of confusion on the 24087 vs. the 2430 OD paint colors and when applied.

Thanks for sharing that with us! Cool

Let me add to the confusion. X-24087 and 24087 are not the same. X-24087 was developed for the vietnam era Army helicopters and has more green in it. It was just a coincidence that just after 24087 was discontinued about 1970 the Army introduced a new color OD for choppers and the FS 595 labeled it X-24087 since it was experimental and close to the old 24087.
