I can't say for sure but it could be Bronze Green 70/897.  This site may help as it describes the correct paint colours for French vehicles and the Humbrol equivalents, which you can then compare with Vallejo paints on any number of sites that provide comparisons

You have the advantage of me.  I don't get it.  It is the flag of Ukraine.

OK I'm awake now.  The yellow has always been at the bottom.
