Who knows the FS color code for US vehicle radios, TOW canisters and the TOW launcher?

I guess that the TOW missile rack is CARC NATO Green

You answered your own question. They are all in CARC NATO Green.

The radios matched the interiors which is CARC green but the cables are black, often with a yellow band about an inch wide wrapped around them with model codes in black letters. The ends of the cables are weathered steel. Some of our Humvees were converted TOW vehicles and the missile storage racks were the same green. Same for the launchers, tripods and sights.

Bobber,
To specifically answer your question, the FS number for CARC Green 383 is FS34094.

Thanks for the reply's.

yes I know that the mounts, and brackets is CARC green. But I need to know the FS number for the radio, the TOW launcher and the missiles. I can se on Pictures that these parts are not CARC green. These parts look like OD of some sort

I would imagine the missile containers would be olive drab (34086 or 34088) as that is the color used for ammunition.
