Do you mean something like this...
 
Oz Army three colour disruptive paint pattern (DPP) consisting of:
 
1. Camouflage Green - Olive drab lustreless. reference 7650/ADE(M) 146-1/1
2. Camouflage brown - US Federal Standard 595a 30219
3. Black - US Federal Standard 595a 37038
4. Pilbara Brown - US Federal Standard 595a 30109
 
These are derived from the Australian Paint Approval Scheme (APAS). Other ADF colours are found under this scheme.
 
Camouflage Green is what the former "Olive Drab" was known when adopted from late 1967. IIRC around November of that year.
 
Our own APAS scheme was adopted as the former British Standard BS381c No224 DBG was seen as not entirely suitable.
 
Hope this helps.
