AP-23 USS West Point WW2 Camouflage Scheme

[Foute Man]

I have a question about the paint scheme for AP-23 USS West Point between 1941 and 1945. So far I've identified four different schemes:

- Civilian paint scheme (until june 1941) - see attachment 1
- Dark Grey (after june 1941) - see attachment 2
- MS 12 two tone (july 24 1942) - see attachment 3
- Dazzle/Disruptive scheme (august 23 1942 - july 1945) - see attachment 4 (1942) and 5 (1945)

My question is about the Dazzle/Disruptive scheme. Was this a US Navy design or was this a British design? What was the name for this design? What colours were used for this scheme?
