UN Saladins in Cyprus

[pbennett1]

I am looking for information/photographs of Alvis Saladins operating with UN Peacekeeping Forces in Cyprus during the 1970s. I gather that at this stage, such vehicles were painted in white, over their original paint scheme (which I assume would have been Deep Bronze Green, or a two-colour scheme of Deep Bronze Green and Sand). I have come across comments suggesting that some Saladins had only the turret painted white, the hull retaining the original colour. Is this actually correct?

A search of the net shows these colour pics of Saladin in Cyprus. The first 2 are circa 1970’s
