Hi Steiner

Here are some links to some information on the RAL system as applied to German wartime AFVs and other vehicles, each has some Africa and Tunisia theatre information (though it should be remembered that the WWII era RAL system is not compatible with the current industrial standard):

This last link contains an interesting discourse:

Finally, here is a page on a site about Kettenkrad restoration. Although it is in German I imagine you will be able to read it (?):

Lots there for you to pick the bones out of, as we all have to!

I hope it is of interest.

Here is a link to a pdf of the military colors from Testors paints. In the upper right corner they list Afrika Korp colors and their respective RLM number. Hope this helps
