I am happy to admit that my refs go back to the mid to late '70s - "Desert Tracks" by Platz, "Armour camouflage and markings, North Africa 1940-1943" by Bradford and the whole bunch of A&AP books like D-Day to Berlin, British Tank markings and names, etc.
I also downloaded a page headed "British War Colours - North Africa and the Italy" [sic] some years ago with Humbrol mixes for Silver Grey 28, Slate 34, Light Stone 61 and Portland Stone 64 - haven't actually mixed them, though. I scratchbuilt a Mk VIb which resides in my cabinet and I still think it looks good after 30 years!
I will try and get a copy of the book in the UK if it is available here.
