RAF ETO fighter camo, mid to late war

I'm thinking of painting a P-38J in a "What if?" RAF scheme, and I need help picking the correct colors for a mid to late WW2 RAF fighter camo scheme (European theater).

I've figured out I need Medium Sea Grey undersurfaces, but I don't know about the actual (gray+blue) camo pattern. Ocean Grey seems to be the grey, but I can't figure out what the appropriate blue is. Based on photos and other skins, Deep Sky Blue, Blue Grey, and Royal Blue from the UK colorchart all look like possibilities, but none of them are clearly noted as being the other half of the camo scheme. Deep Sky Blue seems the most likely based on the "High-altitude fighters and bombers" note, but it looks a hair bright to me.

Any advice would be appreciated.
