My 52 M38 # 53623 also had some yellow under the paint. Don't remember if it was the first coat or not.

M38's painted 2430 OD at Willys all used the same 2430 thinned out as the primer followed by a heavier coat of 2430.
Before jumping to any conclusions on these yellow claims someone needs to confirm where exactly layer wise this yellow was found.
Most yellow M38's that have been recorded were OD first. Many CJ3A's were converted by Zekely to yellow flightline and carrier deck aircraft support jeeps in both 3 wheel and 4 wheel configurations. Don't mix these up with primarily USAF yellow M38's. The two photos show a FEAF (Far East Air Forces) USAF flightline jeep with yellow over OD around 1951 in Korea.
