PFF B17's How were they chosen ?

Hello,

PFF B17's How were they and their colours chosen ?

Were they despatched from the Factory as such, or from Modification Depots within the USA or oversea's ?

Following from this some were to be seen in Natural metal finnish while some were camouflaged in Olive Drab and others were to be seen in an overall Grey finnish. How and why was a specific finnish chosen ?

Again were their Colours applied at the factory or at a Modification Center ?

PFF B17's within a close serial number range can be seen in all three of the finnishes even after camoflage was stopped at factories.

Thank you
Alex
