TK,
Date unknown -- If either of those is one of my shots then the date is 1976 -- post-MON but they still looked pretty good.

Thanks for the information. Yes, I believe these are both from you collection, so I changed the original post.

Vic,
Tank silver, underframe black, trucks black perhaps just because they were very dirty -- although trucks did get painted.
