Actually the RLM74 Graugrun ( grey-green ) was of the green tinge. But as usual, the truth is somewhere in between. Having look at the two shots it may be noticed that the dark colour looks quite dark and fresh comparing to the rest of the aircraft "uniform". What is more if having a close up look at the area between the Hinomaru and the fuselage side below the cockpit slide back hood the two shades of the dark colour can be noticed there. IMHO it is possible the dark green paint could be applied around the cockpit perhaps for camo refreshing and creating of the anti-glare strip. The camo spot at the starboard wing rood looks lighter contrary to that.
