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.

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
