Can someone help me out here? When I first got my M37, it was the same color as the tailgate for sale - sort of a municipal blue (town/school use). Under almost 20 (!) coats of paint, mine started as OD. In restoring using other T/O parts, many of them had this same blue color inamongst the paint layers. What's up with that blue?!? It isn't a faded Strata blue. Is it?
Not USAF

I think it's CAP, or Civil Air Patrol, or maybe Civil Defense? I have seen a few of them, usually w/ a hand laid, galvanized hard top.

Civil Air Patrol vehicles were painted IAW US Air Force regulations. They were always strata blue. 
Civil Defense vehicles were usually repainted navy blue with the civil defense logo on the doors. The tailgate pictured doesn't seem to be a "faded" version of either color. Hard to say what it is!
