It looks like the crew are wearing winter jackets over standard panzer crew uniforms. SP crews normaly wore the field grey version of the panzer uniform which was black for tank crews. So I would sugest Vallejo 70.866 for the uniform and caps. The instructions call up white for the jackets which were reversible so they could be painted in one of the standard camouflage colours or plain field gray with the lining in the opposing colour. Alternatively they could be painted as black leather jackets.
