I have no evidence either, so this is my opinion and you know what that's worth. The first two photos are very hard to tell, but I'd be inclined to think those were brown and yellow based on the tree behind the first one and the Arch in the second one. The third photo with the girl on the bike I think is probably green over yellow based on the uniforms of the men and the truck in the background. Of course if they've got a heavy coat of dust they could be either. My Grandfather told me that most of the German tanks he saw in France were painted in earth tones so I'm guessing you could go with either and be just fine.

I'm curious if anyone has a colour photo, or any other evidence to suggest that these Panthers were infact green spots with red brown borders, or red brown spots with green borders - on a dark yellow base.
From what I have read elsewhere, there is an idea that green spots were perhaps in spring/summer and brown spots in autumn. i.e. both are correct. This would lead me to believe these Panthers had green spots since they passed through Paris just before Normandy D-day. However I am still to find any hard evidence that this is the case.
Any ideas or reference would be appreciated.
