Have a look at this review, Calvin


U.S. Infantry, 2nd Armored Division Review on US Army Models

He also has a general colour guide, and although not in AV you should be able to convert using the colour conversion charts on AV's site.

Calvin, you correctly identified the M1942 HBT uniform, and it is unusual if not for the fact that it was a short-lived and thus relatively unknown version, and it was often being mistaken for SS camouflage uniforms of the times and led to some cases of mistaken identity shall we say...
