HMS Keppel appears on p24 of Alan Raven's Volume 4 Royal Navy WW2 camouflage with two different camouflage schemes.

I seem to have located a portside photo of this ship and the camouflage scheme appears different to either artwork on page 24.
The scheme appears composed of three colours and I would describe it as an Intermediate Disruptive type.
The photograph is unfortunately undated but is labelled Keppel.

Taking a closer look at Keppel in the photograph she appears to have radar and HF/DF on a pole mast aft in place; her aft funnel appears cut down; 20-mm are present on the bridge wings; and there is a Hedgehog in place of 'A' mounting.
Could this photograph show a camouflage scheme that was present on her in 1942?
One in which was between the two camouflage schemes depicted on p24?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this please?

Keppel wore two additional camouflage designs during the 1942 time frame. You are looking at one of them.
