The tank in Beagle's picture of the box cover is a Centurion MBT variant which would date the picture as pre 1966 when Centurion MBTs were replaced by Chieftains.
BTW:
I agree with Silsoe that the right scheme would be the green/black.
For your information the rules at the time were 2/3 green, 1/3 black. If the paint is the same as we used on vehicles the green was a special Infra Red paint, which matched the IR properties of foliage.
