M107 series waterbufflow color scheme

[williamh]

I recently pulled home a waterbufflow that we were using as a sign holder so I could clean it up and put a fresh coat of paint on it. After pressure washing it to prep I noticed it was originally blue and the frame rails were black ?
know info it was the navy’s last.
BMU-1 Beachmaster unit 1
NBG-1 Navil beach group 1 ( San Diego )
No data plate.
never seen one blue. The paint on the tank is all green , any ideas other than originally from the Air Force.

The registration number follows the Air Force pattern.

The registration number follows the Air Force pattern.

That said, it also follows Navy pattern, so now I've muddied the water again.

An example on the tailgate of one my M715s
