Tank Encyclopedia has a few examples:


Carro Armato L6/40, preseries, LXVII Battalion of Armored “Bersaglieri”, Celere Division, Armir, southern Russia, summer 1941.


Carro Armato L6/40, radio version, Bersaglieri recce unit, Eastern front, summer 1942.

I could add that the very first CV33/35 tablettes that saw limited use were in green and that the brown strIpes that are visible on the L6 should be, as frequently related in Italian texts, mud applications..
