There's a suggestion on another thread that Saddam may have painted the chems to look like the conventionals so his troops wouldn't balk at shooting them at the Israelis...now there's a charming thought...hope the next EOD guy who's blowing an ammo dump is suited up...
"There's a suggestion on another thread that Saddam may have painted the chems to look like the conventionals" That might be, but I'm doubtful. I would expect that even with conventional warhead markings, a WMD binary nerve agent shell should have a distinctive shape and other observable features, due to the difference in function, contents and method of loading the chemicals.
