Folks, I need a little help on a project I hope to get to work on soon. I am looking for information on markings and paint colors and or schemes used on the R35 tanks employed by the Vichy French in Morocco at the time of the Torch landings in November 1942. I have tried near every permutation I can think of on the internet and keep coming up empty, so any help or suggections as to where to turn would be appreciated.

I was guessing that was probably the color used, but the French had some wild schemes when the war began and I wasn't sure if any of them were carried over with French Colonial units in Casablanca, Marrakech or any where else. Thanks for the assistance.
