I disagree, Philippe, I believe that British English (RP and otherwise) has the 
stress on the first syllable of both forms,  /ɑʒ/ and /ɪdʒ/  (and both forms 
are used by different members of my own family). I suspect that US English has 
the stress on the second syllable of /ɑʒ/ - I have never heard /ɪdʒ/ used in US 
English.

Though this doesn't help with pronunciation of 'camouflage' in US English!   

But bonus points to you for use of IPA!

Piers (stress on the first syllable!)

Thanks Jez

The British RP (received prononciation) is the « arge" form, this I know. And I 
suspect the same applies in Br.Eng. to camouflage for the same historical 
reasons even though the stress is apparently on the first syllable in 
camouflage (3 syllables), and on the second and last one in RP garage (2 syll 
only), making it easier to skid from arge to idge while/when shifting the 
stress from 2 to 1, hence my question about camouflage in the US.
