Does anyone have RLM or Hobby paint matches for the Green/grey/Black Camo that was applied to East German equipment right before the fall of the Berlin Wall?

Hi!
German "www.panzerbaer.de" states that that the base colour is "Chlorbunagrün". I searched the web for you but I did not find a good recommendation to Humbrol or other manufacturer´s range. On a few different web pages it is stated that all three colours are subject to differences and shades, not only by cause of weathering, but also the original paint came out different from time to time depending on how old it was, if it was a new or reopened can, or if it was thinned more times because of the lack of supplies. So, no recommendation here for the base colour.
Second colour was "dämmergrau" which is a dark shade of grey. A Recommendation which I found was Humbrol 1 part H32 + 5 parts H156
Third colour was "schwarzgrau" . A Recommendation which I found here was Humbrol H182.
However, I am not a specialist on East German army colours for modeller use, only did some research on German pages for you! Hope it helps a little.
