Re: M42 camo relic
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Re: M42 camo relic
Hard to say on this one mate, looks like it was painted inside too with the liner out which is a bit odd for a field repaint. It has a fair chance though, bit of a strange colour for postwar use too.
The colour does remind me of the Mediterranean colour camo's.

Re: M42 camo relic
I think it's just the factory paint that has discolored because of a chemical process.

Re: M42 camo relic
The reason why there is few answers, that it's almost impossible to tell. Tried this myself with helmet camo questions. Most colours was used in all theaters of the war. We find lots of "desert" camo items on the eastern front, such as the 20l water cans. They look like DAK items. At that time i don't think they were too specific on their camo, not in general anyway.
