I wanted to check to see if anyone had any information on typical camo colour/patterns used on this unit's Stug III's.
Not including the usual winter whitewash treatment.
There's one in the centre right on this link but I am not skilled in intrepreting colours on old B&W photographs;

hi Glen
this is the 210 marking, the tiger's head.
the stugs look standard panzer grey rather than disruptive camo.
cheers

I wondered about them being grey, too.
I would love to find some more photo's of them but have not been able to, so far.

I did find something about Stug Brigade 210 colours from;
"Ëast Front Armor Camoflage and Markings"by Steven J. Zaloga and Jamse Grandsen, Squadron/Signal 1983. page 12
A Stug III G of Stug Brigade 210, known as the Tigerkopf Brigade"because of the unit's distinctive brigade insignia, which is evident here. The brigade was heavily involved in the fighting in the Caucusus. and this view from 1943 shows the assualt gun in the new 1943 scheme of dark yellow with oive green overspray.
