AFV camouflage - what happened?

At the height of the Cold War, the British forces in West Berlin painted their vehicles in an odd-looking disruptive urban camouflage scheme, because the usual rural paint stood out in the city. (Remember, Berlin remained under tri-power occupation until German reunification, half a century after the end of WWII.)

From the Ex-Military Land Rover Association. Quite a British name, isn't it.

Hmm. You know, my first thought on seeing the pic was that it was a scheme to confuse an optically-guided missile. Never heard of such a thing though...
