Anyone know what the uniform for these chaps would be.  Khaki or blues, or a mixture of both?

First, great find! Usually, I'm more for the "turreted MG" branch of armoured cars (easier to integrate into infantry-focused games), but that one is quite nice.

Second, all the pics I've seen have the crew's tunics/jackets darker than the colour of the vehicle's hull. I'd say Navy blue uniforms wouldn't be too much of a stretch, especially when operating as an "expeditionary corps", e.g. early WW1 in the West.

Yes, all of those, if photos are anything to go by.  :)

Just a quick note if you want to use these in a game,its quite simple ,We tend to class these vehicles as softskins as we do the autocar as neither vehicle were ment for direct contact.
Just treat the crew as in cover.give the vehicle. As soft skin stat,and treat the whole vehicle as a 2 machine guns and a light gun or mortar(depending on your rules)but don't restrict movement when firing.have the machine guns fire the same way as normal armoured cars,and the main gun only as a static fire weapon.
You end up with a vehicle that can cause mayhem but can be stopped by rifle fire,this reflects how little protection the crews had.
