What color is the Wild Willy that is found in the Tamiya catalogs BITD seen here?

Tamiya Wild Willy (WW-V1/WW-V2) Chassis • (Radio Controlled Model Archive)  • RCScrapyard.

Curiously, this seems to be the similar (though different) shade they replicated for the 1:1 version:

Full Scale Replica of Tamiya "Wild Willy" R/C Jeep

It also kind of goes along with the box art too (which the 1:1 version was probably attempting to replicate with the dirt smudge on the lower bodywork, etc):

 

58035 • Tamiya Wild Willy, Willy's M38 • (Radio Controlled Model Archive) •  RCScrapyard.

The manual list XF-62 olive drab in the back and TS5 is the likely spray paint. All of those come out looking like this though:

58035 - Tamiya model database - TamiyaBase.com

Wild Willy 2 Club Vol. 1

This appears far more, well, drab lol.

Any idea what the deal  of which paint to try? Perhaps Tamiya XF5 flat green through an airbrush?

Tamiya Acrylic XF5 Flat, Green

Edit: Sorry if I've posted this question before.

I found this image of something done in XF5 flat green:

Ism Friday's night live at the bench what have you been working on for  *November 3rd* - International Scale Modeller

 

It looks very close to the 1:1 Willy but the catalog pic and box art illustration still look a bit different. My rapidly failing eyes are picking up more blue in the catalog pic.
