Some very nice progress you show us here. I wouldn't worry too much about matching the colors. Unless you have some completely different brands it should be fine.

Another go at the what if camo, F turret can be any camo you want. Will let paint harden up before numbers are applied then tone down the paint.

Numbers on ,The foliage loops messed up the positioning of the masks, easy option would be making smaller ones to fit in the gap.

Missed to take pic of stage 2 not perfect due to misalignment of the 3 part mask

They look great.
I assume the same problem would have existed in real life with getting a metal stencil to work over/around the foliage loops too.
