Convoy reflector question

I see in the Military Convoy Operations in CONUS TM that there are "L" shaped reflectors "12 inches long and 2 inches wide at the lower corners of the vehicle's body" for added warning to the rear during convoy moves. No mention of the color, though. Anybody know what color they are supposed to be? Civilian commercial vehicles use white "L" markings, but I didn't want to assume. This is not to be confused with the mudflap mounted yellow and red reflective plates used in Europe.

All i've seen are red. Walmart has rolls of reflective red tape (automotive section) for about $2.

When the requirement to add the CONUS Convoy markers came out, an article appeared in PM magazine listing the National Stock Number for red reflective tape and for rolls of magnetic tape. It is similar to what refrigerator magnets are made from. You put the red tape on the magnetic tape. This allowed you to remove the convoy markers when the convoy was over and you went tactical. Easier than putting mud or green duct tape over the markers.

I have some delineation plates. If you are interested, PM me. They are 16 x 16 and brand new.
