Any photographs of this Hurricane Mk 1 'L 1582', "3 sqn, over-sea experimental camouflage, Rooklands and Farnborough, 1940"?

Hi everyone.
I'm wondering if there are any photographs of this interesting experimental camouflage for this Hurricane? I can find two profile sources but no concrete photos for its existence.

Thanks

That's a very interesting scheme! It would be great if someone can come up with a photo of it. - One thing, I think the description on the picture is wrong - I don't know of any "Rooklands" associated with aviation in the UK - Its likely to be "Brooklands", which is of course where the Hawker factory was.

Looks like someone else was searching for the same info on another forum back in 2009. See. Hurricane L1582

The same "profile" is found on pictures elsewhere on the net - but the colours vary. Usually, the light grey is a lot lighter, almost white. Making it look like the "dazzle" schemes used on WW1 warships.
