Default M-series Canadian Cam paint.

After years of being able to use "army surplus" paint, the time has come to find commercial equivelants. The cam pattern from the 70s through to the 90s was made up of a 3 colour paint scheme. The colours were:

Colour....................cdn spec#
Flat black................512-301
flat green................503-319
olive drab................503-321

Now I have no problem finding the flat black, but what are the commercial/US equivelants of the other two colours? When the CF changed it's paint to the CARC in the 90s, the olive drab was deleted since it was not a NATO colour and light Brown was used instead.
I have used some of the Gillespie coatings available from the US, and was wondering what their equivelants to the Cdn colours are?
It would appear to me that the 34052 would be a close match to the flat green, but what of the olive drab? Would gillespie 33070 be correct for this?

Some guys locally have used house paint with mixed results....mostly the paint is not as durable as the automotive stuff, so I am not interested in this avenue.

So what are you guys using to replicate the Canadian colours?
