I have a few pages from a book published here during WW2. The author was apparently an academic of some note .Most of the book is relating to buildings, but some of it is vehicle related .

In most of my cammo books, Dumps that are out side are camouflaged by use of Netting with the use of cammo or hessian to distort the shape and blend in with the ground, The use of colour, shape , shine shadow. every piece of natural cover or ground pattern should be used.

If you can get hold of a copy of this British manual, Concealment in the Field printed in 1957 as it has a lot of info and over 270 photos about camouflage/concealment, at least half the photos are from WW2. Does not show how to paint your Veh, but how to hide it + ammo, Fuel Dumps Ect.
