Question, are Canadian (or British/Commonwealth) Shermans OD? or were they a color similar to the Cromwells ? Simple question with I am guessing a not so simple answer.

Hi Rob ... Canadain Shermans would remain in the orginal US olive drab until heavy maintenance was needed ...when they were repainted it would have been SCC15 which is a greener OD ..

What color would be SCC15 in Tamiya or Model Master?

Using Tamiya paints I usually mix up some olive green to their olive drab just to tint it ...then lighten it further for the faded look..
