True! We considered both possibilities, and if you visitthe AirCorps Aviation link in the article, you’ll see that the OD version was the one finally retained. At the time I published this, we still weren’t sure. As stated, this profile is very hypothetical as we had practically no source material.

Earlier razorbacks often did end up stripped of their OD paint, but in that case, the stenciling should probably disappear as I doubt the mechanics would have bothered to repaint it, except perhaps for the data block located beneath the windshield (and even then, the entire data block zone was often left as is, leaving an OD rectangle on an otherwise NMF fuselage).

I’ll update the article to include the OD version.
