That scheme is MERDEC Summer Verdant, so it shouldn't be CARC paint.
After the mid-80s, most vehicles would have been painted in 383 camo if they got a repaint. Interesting how long MERDEC lasted on some vehicles though! My M109 and M185 are both in MERDEC and were both surplussed c.2008.

The colours are -
Forest Green 34079
Light Green 34151
Sand 30277
Black 37038

If you want an opinion, mine is that there are a lot of OD vehicles, not as many in MERDEC and I think it is cool camo! ;)

Attached is the M113 pattern. It is Winter Verdant, you'd just replace the Field Drab (brown) with Light Green for Summer.

Cheers

If A2, either MERDC or the 383 3 color NATO Camo. Our MATES-maintained M106A2s and M577A2 Ft Indiantown Gap, PA were MERDC 1986-1988.

Then our M125A2 81mm, M106A2 4.2in and M113A2 APCs in Berlin 1989 were 383 3 Color NATO Camo.
