Dunno about the MG carts, but it would seem from the postcards that supply carts went unpainted, showing the bare wood colour (though how accurate the depictions are, I do not know).

Actually it is a 37mm infantry gun, not an MG. My mistake.  :)

Dog biscuit or bone coloured?

Not sure it matters from the dogs point of view, their retinas contain far fewer cone cells and their vision is essentially dichromatic. Paint it a faded blue or yellow and say you asked a surviving canine veteran.  :)
