Doug,
In 1943 all ordinance was painted "Dunkel Gelb" which is what the
Germans called dark yellow. Even optics, tool boxes, ammo boxes, just
about everything was painted dark yellow. Before that everything was
painted dark grey "Panzer Grey" or field grey. The 120mm mortar was
in action in the later half of WWII, so almost all of those weapons
were dark yellow.
