GPA2077 registration number

Can anyone tell me the origional registration number for GPA2077? Sanding carefully thru the layers of paint, I found U.S. COAST GUARD 45G751 and nothing below that. Did the Coast Guard take delivery of some GPA's or is this a transfer of assets from the Army to the Coast Guard?

What was the paint color under the Coast Guard numbers, OD , blue...? Do you have any photos you could post?

I was planning on painting my GPA in SeaBee or Coast Guard livery but have never been able to locate photos to go on. David

Hope this helps.

The paint under U.S. Coast Guard was OD. The number was flat white maybe as a result of the sanding. I did not take a photo of this before sand blasting, sorry.
