For those following along, the profile in Richard's article is from Regia Aeronautica Vol I by Christopher Shores:
Below is the only photo of 210-2 that I know of (3rd a/c from the camera), as well as a photo of 210-9 (note the aircraft number on the center cowl is partially painted over with the unit badge) and also note the differences in the unit codes (eg color, style) and the presence of the hyphen between the unit code and a/c numbers. The photo of 210-2 was taken between April-October 1941 as noted by the yellow cowls. Also note the 3-tone camo scheme on the planes in the photo 210-2.
This is a photo of 210 Sq CANTs in Christopher Shore's book:
If there was a photo of 210-2 in the 2-tone green camo scheme (eg of a replacement aircraft or an overhauled a/c), the colors were likely misinterpreted or just a misinterpretation of the camo scheme. btw this isn't the only green on green camo scheme of a CANT Z.1007bis in that book eg 172-1 (a Channel Front CANT). Please review the CMPR color guide on this site and see the camo chips for the CANT Z.1007bis:

Below is the Tauro Decal sheet 72-519 with 210-2 that Richard references in his article and the 2-tone green camo scheme. Note what it says in the caption (under 17) - the scheme is based on a profile in the book CRDA CANT Z1007 BIS ALCIONE ed. Intergest 1975, and,
importantly it says there is no photo that confirms the paint scheme:
The 2-tone green did exist eg CMPR C3, C4 but not on CANTs. Finally Richard does point-out in his article that he was unable to confirm this camo scheme.
