Does anyone here know if the M 26 ever had the black disruptive camo pattern applied?

Supposedly the "Super" did, but I don't have any pics of others with it.

The four Pershings that helped take the bridge over the Rhine at Remagen were floated across a few days later (to avoid over-stressing the damaged span). The lower photo on the link below shows one of these tanks on a section of pontoon bridge adapted as a tank ferry, and it appears to have a rather dusty camouflage pattern.

Thanks for the info. I'm finishing up a Tamiya kit and wanted to do something other than overall OD.
