British armor at that stage of the war was painted SCC15, which was the UK equivalent to US Olive Drab. Upon aging, it turned a slightly greenish hue.

I don't know whose enamel OD is the closest to WW2 US Olive drab -- I use TAmiya Acrylic OD regligiously.

If you go to the MAFVA site at this address, you will find paint mixes for Humbrol enamals.
