Seen different colourized versions of this tank and there is also another photo of it.

The first colorized looks like the person running the app chose the blue of the open sky and the yellow of the rapeseed flowers in that field as known values. The second used a different process which ended up translating blue as gray, possibly keying off a brown.

Which would you consider a more accurate depiction?

I would go with the first one becasue of the sky and the rapeseed blossoms keyed for blue and green are very accurate at least to modern digital photography results. The second one by turning a blue sky gray blue and dominant on brown and black has too much gray. It looks like early colorization while the second looks like a newer digital program which means more technological linage in translating grayscale photography.

Once you see a field of "yellow" rapeseed flowers under a "blue" sky in real life, you will understand my choice.
