Did any of the UKs Shermans sport this color scheme?

Sherman Scheme

I'm not answering this based on definitive evidence, but I believe that by the time the Brits received American Shermans they had discontinued making use of this camo scheme. Instead they made use of a desert sand color with horizontal thick wavy lines of olive green.

Ok, after some searching I found some pictures. Images are from "The New Breed, Part 1, North Africa, Colour and Markings Series" by Factory publishing. All these depict Shermans from North Africa, and as far as i can tell, none ever used a scheme similar to the one you posted.
