Is this cleaning kit color look correct

[tankerfrank]

Good afternoon just picked up this cleaning kit today. And I'm just wondering if the color looks correct it's like almost like a NATO forest green. I don't believe it was repainted simply because the retaining clips that holds the covers down are blued Steel and if somebody would have just painted this I would have thought they would just paint right over those clips but anyhow. When I saw this cleaning kit on the internet The Tint almost made it look like it was an Air Force blue. So that's what made me purchase it. It's dated 1943 so I don't think it's fake. I do think though that the oiler that came with it is an after War One freezer look at the photos and let me know what your opinions are. And again just going to say this up front I probably screwed up the way this thing reads but I'm stupid and I don't know how to write or read so please don't beat me up

lots of good info here, if you hadn’t seen it.

Rg 34 Info

The Reinigungsgerät 34 or cleaning device 34 was officially introduced in the German army on 4th September 1934. According to its m...

I can’t answer the original question, but that the box is painted & has steel clips in ‘43 is consistent with other examples considered to be NOT fake.

The color is fine. Period original. Have a number of Braunschweigische (arr) cans in this darker shade. Oil bottle is post war as you suggested ......

Was looking at this kit as well. The paint appeared so dark I thought it might have been repainted black. Also, it was brought to my attention the acceptance stamp on the lid appeared to be WaA20 (can you confirm?). As mentioned, oiler is post-WW2. This is discernible by the oiler color, very sharp shoulder at the top of the bottle, somewhat fatter & sharper contours to the black oiler cap and (in this case) a swollen appearance at the top. These oilers are made from a different composition than WW2. On some oilers (primarily kits from "WBC"), spring tension to the cap causes the end of it to swell. This is due to pressure over many years resulting in the more pliant cap end expanding against the bevel in the screw. You will not see such occur with WW2 oilers. A dark brown/black WW2 phenolic oiler would be a suitable replacement and one most easily found.
BTW, I see you are a relatively new member and perhaps might not be aware of one of our member's Rg34 website:

I did look at those saved post in their very informative. But I did purchase this cleaning chain the seller said it's late War. But it's not twisted like the ones I've seen on some posted here. I asked the gentleman if I can get a refund and he said that this is guaranteed original World War II that there was three late style chains. So could you look at the photo and tell me did I get snookered I paid $30 for it

TF:
The RGK pictured above is attributed to being of East German origin for use in some of their Rg34s and found "in-the-white" or blued. The URL below will help you to identify Post-WW2 Rg34 components. Pattern of the link itself dates long before WW2 and would be a general "utility" chain.

Considering your arr43 kit, there are a few RGK variants which would be considered correct... both by type and/or manufacturer markings. Twisted wire might be one, but if so, it would have been towards the end of 1943.
Regarding the WaA20 acceptance, this is a plus to have on your arr coded kit. There are some posts discussing in depth, the connection between G APPEL (cnx) and Braunsweigische Blechwarenfabrik (arr/rco), but don't have any links at my fingertips at this moment...
