USAAF bomber ammo box colour

[BlrwestSiR]

Hi folks,

Anyone know the colour of the ammo boxes used in USAAF bombers? These would be the ones for the defensive gunner positions on a bomber- nose, waist, tail etc.  I can't tell if they should be olive drab, green, or something else.  

Thanks in advance!

For B-25 .50cal it was brownish bakelite colour as such

Thanks Martin! 

Forgot to mention my slight colour blindness. Dark olive drab? Or dark red?

Liberator waist gunner ones.
