Henschel 126 5F+AK North African scheme query

Hi all,
I'm building the nice Italeri kit of the Hs126 and plan on giving it the north African scheme of 5F+AK of 2(H)/14
This aircraft is on the cover of the book, Recon for Rommel.

The aircraft looks like it's just received it's desert mottle scheme over a standard European scheme. I assume this was a heavy mottle on the upper wings as the aircraft was disassembled at time of painting.
I'm just wondering what sort of "Tan" colour people think it received? It looks too light for RLM79 to my eye?
I've heard of German aircraft receiving Italian colours, if so, which ones would they have been?

any thoughts welcome
cheers
