M16 with unusual two-colour camo

[Scratch]

This is my only M16. I thought the camo was interesting enough to post. It’s in olive green and yellowish khaki, with rounded fields and no borders. It’s not the crispest example you’ll ever see, and one side is distinctly more worn than the other, but at least it’s a real one. It’s marked Q66, so made by F W Quist, Esslingen/Neckar, for which information many thanks to forum member Stahlhelm for his excellent post on manufacturer codes.

Isn't this the 'turtoise' style camo?

I think the tortoise camo is the name for the typical camo with black borders, which I suppose sort of resembles the shell of a tortoise, if you had quite a lively imagination and if the tortoise were painted green, brown and black. I don't know what the name for this one is, if indeed there is a name for it.
