Why not just buy a tin of what ever colour you like and paint the whole motor? If your going to use a brush which I assume you are it won't take long and will smarten it up no end.

There are too many variations of "military" greens to give a true answer.
Look at this, and all of the shades you can get too!
#6b8e23 Color Hex Olive Drab
Mine came from an acrylic based "drab olive green"
Quick search turned up this lot: Military Vehicle Paint - Home Page
..and look at all the matt greens that they can supply
There must be a local car paint shop close to you, pop in and ask them

That's very faded NATO green.
Olive drab was not used on defenders, iirc.

This.
The NATO green fades badly.
Just re-rover the whole lot, that's what I did with mine

Why lose it's patina?
Leave the paintwork as it is...

Then go over it with satin boat varnish, helps protect it.

That's just silly. It's not a boat.

I love the patina! However I've just painted my chassis and got overspray everywhere so it needs tidying up
