I'm not sure if this helps. MM makes a Russian Armour Green, no FS # but it has less yellow in it than their own FS #34079 Dark Green. I personally used it on a JS III that I built and it looks not bad.

If you add to this that nobody is claiming to market the Green 4BO then the situation is even more difficult than for Olive Drab or German Dunkelgelb.
