Hi,
do you know if there were any Humber Armoured Cars (probably Mk.I / II. versions) painted in Caunter scheme during the campaign in North Africa?
I´ve only seen photos of vehicles in tan or tan + black from later stage, but it would be very interesting to see if Caunter or disruptive patterns were also applied.

Thank you

I don't think so. The Caunter-scheme was phased out in October 1941, while the first Humbers entered service later that year.
