Found two:

www.armouredacorn.com
www.armourinfocus.co.uk

Not sure if you've already know about these sites. Their links from the AFV News/ George Bradford site, www.geocities.com/firefly1002000/

Had to make sure they worked. Alot of the links were bad for a longtime. That's the best I've got for now.

What mark of Churchill, what time period? That would help us offer suggestions.

Ahhh, in that case look for photos of the "Kingforce" churchils. three Mk IIIs tha were in tunisia & were in a sand & green finish.

BTW, the standard finish for Mk IIIs when build wasn't OD, or any kind of green, it was SCC2 "Service Colour" otherwise known as fresh dogsh*t brown. The Canadian Mk IIIs at Dieppe were all brown as would anything in the UK be up until early 1944 when the order to change to SCC15 came down.
