Default Colour of markings for 36th Battery, Canadian 23rd Field Regiment RCA?

Roy Aalderson in the Netherlands is restoring a Sexton GPO and he would like to mark it as this Sexton GPO.

Can anyone help with the colours of the markings?

Archive caption: "Sexton self-propelled howitzers passing in front of a reviewing stand at a parade. Date: 1945. This shows a parade (likely a VE-day parade in Holland) where a battery of Sexton self-propelled howitzers are being reviewed. The vehicles are from the 23rd Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, 4th Canadian Armoured Division. The vehicle closest to the stand is a Gun Position Officer variant of the Sexton."
