US 75mm Mark 1 High Explosive Shell with Yellow Paint

[M8owner]

You can find the Mark 1 shell in the US, and they are normally coated in a brown varnish. I have never seen one before with its original yellow paint and markings. It shows a date of 1944. I had no idea these were still being made that late. I have already found a fuse adapter and M46 fuse, and I will soon have a new driving band on it.
