Some discussion on tracer rounds there .. fluorecent lime green ... that would be almost yellow as far as most colormaps go.
I have done quite an extensive research on the topic. Green, yellow, red and white tracers were all used on Kriegmarine's and other WWII navies's ammunition. I can post here some of my sources, if you like it.
The point is: which shade of green, which shade of red, how much transparent, etc? WWII Color footage is pretty rare, and the link you have posted, though possibly giving us some clues, refers to tankers. Any furthter contribution very much appreciated
