M4A1 76mm 2nd Armored Division, Normandy
(National Archives)
These tanks are getting the “Cullin” hedgerow cutter fitted.
The camouflage paint is black over the basic olive drab. I base the
conclusion on the fact that the stars are over painted (and almost visible
in some cases). Since the over painting is the darker color and the
gray scale of the lighter color matches the trucks, I feel that the tanks
were olive drab with black bands, rather than olive drab with earth bands.
