Original paint on this 8cm Gr.W.34 bipod?

Hi Guys, I'm trying to figure out whether this bipod has been refurbed by some eastern bloc country or is in its original paint. There do not seem to be any new markings anywhere. There is not a lot of dark green paint left, but what there is shows a very orange colored primer, which does not seem to be similar to the normal German brightish red iron oxide primer. Opinions?

Sorry about the monster pics. Can't seem to get Imjur to bring them down to decent sizes like Photobucket did.

Pics fixed.

I think these were used in Norway after the war, so my guess would be, post war nirwegian green......

It looks like the same colour that can be found on the carrier parts that show up lately
