Hi, I've just found what appears to be traces of original paint on my 1940 W/NG (inside the chainguard) in the process of removing the black civvy colour which is no doubt from sometime post war. For a 1940 model I would have expected the colour to be Khaki Green number 3, but the traces I've uncove...

Anybody else got one like this?? I've looked on the internet but failed to find another one so far...

Looks like it would be more suited to the 100 years war than World War 2.
Any thoughts as to originality?

Just wishing to register my thanks for the help received through this forum re details of parts needed for my 1940 W/NG restoration - Central speedo bracket now fabricated as per factory drawing. Tapered handlebars now just needing a final tweak to complete. Next question is about the field stand. I...
