    To me, it looks like probably post-war paint over what might be the original ordinance tan color.

        Hi!
        Is very possible, that cast have war painting. In my opinion it was repaint in later war (1944/45).
        I've mg cast in my collection in congruent painting. My cast come from german tank and painting is 100% original.
        Best Regards

            So it's my mg cast. It was found in destroyed german tank in 1945. Painting is definitely war.

                  ok.. We have a few repainted boxes..

                  cmon.. Piotr.. lets stay real - they are all three repainted the same way with shiney gray paint.. - whats that ?? a winter camouflage ???

                  typical post war paint IMHO. Farmer didnt repaint it - maybe His son then ?? maybe His father ?? maybe He got it at flea market 50 years ago....

                  I mean really... not much to talk about here

                    Kuligow, I don't know why it was repainted... also... why farmer, maybe his son, maybe his father reapinted it and didin't paint card?
                    And why Darek's case, that come form Germany, have identical painting as my case, that come from Poland?

                    Regards, Piotr
