M1A1 11th ACR Blackhorse Iraq Questions

I found these two photos online from Reddit and Facebook. Hoping someone has more info on these 2nd Squad, 11th Armored Cav Regiment, Blackhorse in Iraq. Did these stay in the two color camo or were they repainted in overall sand before being sent out the camps? If they stayed in the two tone camo, does anyone have the full camo pattern showing the top and rear views? Is the sand FS33531 and the brown NATO brown or FS30117? Also, what number/codes were on them while in Iraq?

The first one from Facebook says they are at Camp Scannia Nippur Iraq 2003.

Look at NARA and DVIDS. There are several archived photos of 1st Squadron from July 2005. They show M1A1 tanks in this camo providing security during medical outreach missions in Baghdad

Rob, thanks for the info. I checked both but keep getting zero results. I actually have an account on DVIDS and still coming up with zero results. Can you please link to the archived photos?
