Avvording to quick web search these photos were taken during or after 1970, and the aircraft are painted in a "non reflective paint" to degrade the ability of heat seeking missiles to lock on. You can see the modified exhausts on all the aircraft.

 

What the paint colours are I can't help you with.

I've had A word with a friend of mine who was in the Rhodesian AF at the time and although his memory is a wee bit hazy he remembers the colours being darker (dark earth dark green) they were a locally produced I.R. suppressant paint so perhaps the quality my not have been as good as it could have been?  The Aircraft were parked outside and only hangerd for major servicing,so would have weathered very quickly you only have to look at the Canberra's and Hunters.
