Blue paint would indicate Navy. Can't see the pics to confirm, firewall at work has them blocked.

My Mighty Mite had light blue paint from the Civil Defense

Wish I was closer and had the skills to put this thing back together.. I love the older vintage Jeeps like these, and hate to see them going to waste like that... Would certainly be slow goings for a rebuild that is for sure...

She just needs a little bit of love and some parts from Mid West Jeep Willys (http://midwestjeepwillys.com/m38-parts.html) can be a beautiful ole Willys M38 again like this one day:
