What colours would the AFV be?  Also any paint recommendations.
The same for the uniforms, if possible.

Judging by the Osprey MAA128 plate B Egyptian infantry 1973, I would do overall Pale Stone Humbrol 121 or Colour Party Paints MA25,
sand yellow assault jerkin Humbrol 93 or Miniature Paints 62;
black boots,
stone helmet with earth brown H29/MP82 or light olive H86 blotches.
RPG-7 backpack in dried earth CPP MA27
Suitcase Sagger cases are olive green.

Vehicles are a base Stone H121 or Colour Party Paints Sand MA21. T-62s and some T-55s have dark earth or dark green or dark grey disruptive pattern.

Any overall sand - of your choice. Sun in the desert fades most colours very quickly.
