I'll take a shot. Pre-war Lights would have been bronze green. By 1941 you'd expect they would have been re-painted at least once in khaki or dark green (as I think your subject was). Then, the exterior was given a cam pattern in light stone. The inside of the hatch covers (the parts that were visible when open) would be the exterior hull colour, so in your case khaki or dark green, but obviously without the light stone cam. I expect the interior colour would have been aluminum.
were painted the exterior body colour. In you case I Quote:

I agree with Bruce. The bottom hatch would most likely be still in the KG#3 or the darker bronze green. Notice however that the upper hatch in your 2nd photo is semi closed. The verticle part of it appears to have the same paint job as the exterior of the tank.

Tanks in the East
Cliff
It's a neat little book written by a sergeant, he was in the 9th Div cavalry regiment . They trained on those tanks at Puckapunyal , and were issued them in the M.E., and then fought the Vichy french in Syria using them . You might pick up a copy in an op shop. I think the authors surname is Kerr ? MIKE PS I recall: John Belfield had the remains of two of them at one time . here you are : http://www.awm.gov.au/units/unit_136..._world_war.asp It was published during WW2 while the author was still serving
