did StuH crew have?
Basically the same as StuG crew, as most StuH were part of the Sturmartillerie which operated the StuG Brigades.
For the Wehrmacht (regular army), the standard (summer) uniform was field gray in the same cut as the black panzer uniform, but often with minor differences in the badges etc which aren’t too visible in 1/35 (see my recent review on TL of the Warriors SPG Team for more info). Varying other jackets were worn for warmth or removed (short only) to cool down and some jackets were custom made out of camo material etc, so you can certainly have diversity for a Wehrmacht StuH.
The pea pattern camo uniform was an SS design, typically based on the Panzer jacket. It was common to see Waffen SS AFV crew some in camo and some not (e.g field gray).
There often were minor differences in the cut of Waffen SS and Wehrmacht jackets (see my review of Alpine Minature Tanker for details), and the collar insignia but most modellers ignore these in 1/35.
Some StuH crew did wear the black Panzer jackets, especially if the StuH was assigned to a Panzer Division and not a StuG Abteilung.
Hope this helps
