Standard camouflage from photos I've seen.
There was an excellent article about their work in 'RAF Flying Review' in about 1962 (before it became 'Flying Review International'). The squadron was headquartered at Halton but thy detached to bases nearer the radar units they were calibrating.
Did you know one of them was credited with a 'kill'? Operating off the south coast on calibration work from Tangmere; Bf109 if I recollect; tried to turn with the autogyro and discovered he couldn't.
