Richard,
You have to bear in mind that the base colour was desert stone or khaki in North Africa with the disruptive colour applied over there. When they went to Italy they were given the brown paint job but inside the engine house and other inaccessible places remained the initial colour. Some of the vehicles kept their Africa colours until they needed repainting in Italy. The same goes with the caunter scheme. Just because it was replaced end of 41 doesn't mean there weren't any vehicles still using it later in 42. I kind of like that Syria/Persia scheme with desert stone and terra cotta. I wonder if they used that one on carriers too? When you start painting your hull you just have to choose between the desert stone and khaki and can decide on the rest later. The next truck I paint is going to have khaki base colour with the sand as disruptive since the sand colour shows oil leaks so much more on the undercarriage.
