Default Looking for pictures of trucks painted in "Foliage Pattern" camouflage

Although it has been discussed on this forum before (like here), I would like to bring this subject back to top again.

Who has some good pictures of vehicles painted in accordance to the "Foliage Pattern" in MTP 46 Part 4A: PAINTING OF MECHANICAL TRANSPORT 1941? Note: this is not the ubiqutious "Mickey Mouse" paint scheme.

As per the experts Mike Starmer and Mike Cooper:
Quote:
1942- 44 – M.T.P. 46/4A introduce new toned schemes aimed primarily against aerial observation, usually using the BS.987C browns as laid down in A.C.I. 1160 of May 1942. The most common versions were variants of the ‘Foliage’ pattern and the ‘Mickey Mouse’ variant of the ‘Dapple’ pattern. Vehicles continued to be delivered and used in plain S.C.C. 2 following A.C.I. 1160 which gave S.C.C. 2 as “Basic Paint”. In October 1943 A.C.I. 1496 authorised S.C.C. 14 (black) as the main shade over S.C.C. 2.
See http://bcoy1cpb.pacdat.net/mtp_46_pt_4a_painting_mt.htm for scanned copies of M.T.P. 46

Thanks!
Hanno
