The evidence is the German regulations of the period which required 74/75/76 colours. This has nothing to the colours, those aircraft were painted in the factory. Apart of that you seem to not to understand what trop version means.

Kari, I do not mean there was no paperwork, I just only mean that this may have not survived to the present time. I cannot imagine MFAs discussing delivery of a few cans to German units. Another possibility is that the German units got extra deliveries of German produced paints for Finland. Then there will be no trace of those deliveries, I am afraid.
