M7 Priest in Italy

[DaveCox]

It's me again.
I'm trying to find camouflage and markings for a 105mm SP Priest as used by the 98th (Surrey & Sussex Yeomanry - Queen Mary's) Field Regiment RA.
I know that 391 & 392 batteries were with the 8th Army in Italy from 1943, and were employed at Cassino; but just can't trace any more detailed information.

Any help would be much appreciated, as this is a local unit for me.
