The IWMs photo database has shots of two M10 17pdrs crossing the Savio. One is obviously the marking option chosen by Academy, luckily for us.

Pic 2

Presumably they are painted in SCC15 (British OD). Note that Academy got the Arm of Service mark on the RHS trackguard wrong and it should be a red and blue square with a white bar on top and not a shield.

Hope this helps
