I was wondering if the 8CH in Germany around 1970 had Centurions painted in the 3 tone camo pattern with 105mm guns. I can't seem to find anything saying yes or no so if somebody has some information It would help clear this up for me.

Nope not the 8CH.
The RCD took over the Centurion Mk.11LRs from the LdSH(RC) in 1970.
In 1969 the Centurions were still in the 4 colour cam pattern. Starting in 1970 they started being painted in the 3 colour cam pattern.
The 8CH did not return to Germany until 1986 when they replaced the RCD.
