Looks like faded Pea Dot camo. I use a book by Calvin Tan as my go to reference for painting SS Camo. It's called Modelling Waffen SS Figures. His reference states:
Base color - US Field Drab 873, English Uniform 921, German Camouflage Black Brown 822 in a mixing ratio of 5:1:1
Medium Green - Reflective Green 890
Light Green - Sunny Skin Tone 845, SS Camouflage Bright Green 833, Military Green 975 in a mixing ratio of 3:5:1
Dark Green - Military Green 975, Black 950 in a mixing ratio of 2:1
Sand/Pink - Sunny Skin Tone 845, Salmon Rose 835, English Uniform 921 in a mixing ratio of 3:4:1
Picture posting isn't working for me but if look up images for Pea Dot you'll see there is quite a bit involved.
