In "British and Commonwealth AFVs 1940-46" (Duncan Crow) it states that the Crusader III of the 6th Armoured Div. in Tunisia were used in their original UK camouflage. This would be overall Mid. Green. A good match is Tamiya's XF-13 J.A. Green.
In the Ground Power magazine on the Crusader a couple of these Tunisian tanks appear to have a secondary scheme that is very faint. I suspect this is a lighter green, possibly Light Bronze Green. Although 1943 is a bit late for that. The best thing to do is an overall green. Possibly the "Jungle Green" SCC13 but most likely the Middle Bronze (Tamiya's XF-13 J.A. Green).
