Another consideration
Once the paint colours have been established and are repeatable the next question is what type of paint are people considering using?
A common cheap paint seems to be a spraying enamel. When a flattening agent is added to this it very quickly goes chalky and looks terrible.
WW2 paints were of different types, a common one being lead based enamel which I think discolours more slowly than modern spraying enamel.
For paint application the gun tractor pics you're referring to Gina were sprayed with the disruptive pattern while in-field efforts were often with a brush and rough as guts as you've seen on your Stuart.
