After seeing my paint in the sun, do you feel that it is close to your dark olive? I'm not sure I've seen dark olive in person, so I have nothing to compare to. Some day I want to repaint but not sure if I want original medium olive color. Thought about the dark olive. But that will be when I have nothing else better to spend my money on.
When it's in the garage it kind of does, but in the sun I would say no. Keep in mind, 90% of the paint on my truck is original except for the passenger side rear quarter when it was in an accident in the late 70's. So I'm not even sure what Dark Olive looks like new.

I almost want to say your's is in between. I know they had some color codes that were medium green and dark green, which might be how they repainted yours.

Here's one of mine in the sun

This is the glove box which has held up most of it's color.

The black push bar might bring out the chrome and with the green it could look really good.

Here's mine to give you an idea
