nice flared rim shell, what could be camo is more stubborn corrosion/staining that did not come off with the oxalic IMO,

Hello Yellow oxide is rust? After treatment with oxalic came a lot of original paint.

No any evidence of camo . I see only rust spots and paint underneath, cleaning by acid made this shell more interesting imo.

Thanks for the info

I agree.
Lot of green paint but no camo, just rust remains.
Leave it as is: if you try to remove all rust, you risk to remove the paint as well.
