I do not know a website, but in the french magazine "Raids" victory in Irak is a picture of one from the US army assigned to the marines.
It was painted overall sand.

Schrauber Welcome to Armorama ..... Yes the Fox (Fuchs) played a part in both Gulf Wars. In 1991 it was in testing with the US Army in the role of NBC detection. I am not sure that is there only role now. Both times they were painted overall sand. Only the markings may be different between the two wars

The UK also uses them for NBC with the joint NBC Regiment based around 1RTR in case you fancy doing it in UK colours instead
