Hi,
Does anybody know what shades of green paint the British army used in the 70s and 80s to paint armoured vehicle?

Yes matt,. I'll bet Denny's top draw cavalry types washed their tanks with benz for a parade, when they would be shiney (and lethal to climb on).
The pusser's green - could be you're thinking of Deep Bronze Green, very distinctive, very shiney, very nasty. Used between about 1950-70. Made AFVs look like Dinky toys.
All the best.
