Hi Frank
The unit was equipped with 19 mid production Tigers and 26 late production tigers, 45 in total with 37 operational on June 6th 1944.
the command tanks 007, 008 and 009 were late versions as well as the platoon leader tanks 204, 205, 304 and 305, as 205 was M. Wittmanns command tank and 007 the one of the batallion commander H. von Westerhagen (actually the tank which Wittman was killed in).
I think, while the 1st Company as the nucleus of the battalion was equipped with mid version Tigers completely, the 2nd company (exept 1st platoon) and 3rd company were equipped with late version Tigers. For the numbers of all the battalion's tanks and their their respective commanders you may check this link:

For the camouflage schemes, check Your photo sources, for mine are a bit scarce at the moment (too much books lent to fellow modellers).
I hope, this will be of some help to You.
Kindly Yours
