There were two places to look for the paint schemes. One of them was in the FMC orders. But that is something you don't find laying around anymore.
The other source is more likely. You want CFP318-9 camouflage and concealment. The current number is something like b-gl-318-009/001. All the charts are in the back of that manual. You might have to hunt a bit to find a copy with the right era of vehicles.
I am unfamiliar with the CARF term.....how does that differ from CARC? Anyway, for the older cam patterns I use gillespie FS33070 for the olive green, the 34094 383 CARC green substitute for the flat green, and tremclad black for the black. The 383 looks a little odd when first painted, but after a week or so it tones down and looks alright.
The 33070 is not a perfect match, but the original paint started changing color the day after it was painted, and went through a rainbow of hues on it's way to a bluish colour after a couple years. I find it gives a decent contrast to the 383 green.
