I remember a thin little British pam, dated '42 I think, which stated black and did show that all top surfaces were painted thus in addition to the side pattern. I imagine that there was some variation at the local level, though, so improvising your own scheme is probably apropos.
Yes I have just found it in 26/GS Publications/644 issued Nov 1941. As you say upturned surfaces were to be painted dark entirely. This is in contrast with 26/GS Publications/70 June 1939 which required a disruptive pattern all over.

There would of course be local variation in painting but both regulations stress that there should be no repitition of patterns between vehicles.
