Here are the Afrika Korps figures. Research into uniforms is a minefield, they seemed to wear almost anything.
The original desert gear sent out was almost olive green but soon faded, so the uniform was a real mishmash of types/colours.
I did read somewhere that it was decreed that they were not allowed to go into battle in shorts, due to thorns and such.
I gather they even wore British shorts, as they liked them better than their own.
The pith helmets were soon discarded and cloth caps seemed the norm.
