Speaking of Tiger colours in early/mid '43: what about the illustrations I found in "Kursk 1943" (Osprey campaign series) depicting Tiger tanks (and other German AFVs) in a cammo pattern that sports only dark brown patches/stripes over the dark yellow base? Was it common or it's a misinterpretation based on B/W photos of hasty repainted tanks with dark yellow over old Panzergrau?
