Than the latest Nashorn that I recall a picture of. There is a well known pic of a Nashorn knocked out in the Ardennes that is aparently standard Dark Yellow with Green and Brown camo (with a white wash). Since the Nashorn production was well over by 1945 the tanks would be in standard 1943-44 colors but with some wear and tear.

Here is the list of unities having received Nashorn. It's not complete and I think that there are errors. Any complement or correction are welcome!

Additions and a few minor corrections

Here are some additions and very few minor corrections to your allocation list, Didier:
The months given reflect the months in which the Nashorns were shipped from an ordnance depot. This must not necessarily mean the unit did receive them during the same month. The 5 Nashorns for 560 in 09/43 for instance were actually shipped on Sep 30. Although the allocation files do not give a date in this case, I'm pretty sure they arrived only a few days later, i.e. in October. This however is a rare case. The exact dates of shipment by the way can be found in Nuts & Bolts Vol. 14 'Nashorn'. If youre interested in unit histories try to obtain a copy!
until 04/1943 (exact date unknown to me)
30 = s.Pz.Jag Abt 560
35 = s.Pz.Jag Abt 655
11/1944
10= s.Pz.Jag Abt 525
10 = 1./s.H.Pz.Jg.Abt. 525 (Western Front under Stab II./Pz.Rgt. 2)
12/1944
12 = 1./s.H.Pz.Jg.Abt. 93 (Western Front under Stab II./Pz.Rgt. 2)
01/1945
4= s.Pz.Jag Kp 669
02/1945
13= s.Pz.Jag Kp 669
03/1945
4= s.Pz.Jag Abt 88

BA/MA RH 10/349 and 350 as well as Nuts & Bolts Vol. 14 'Nashorn'.
In case anyone wonders why the total is higher than the number of Nashorns build, this is because the allocation files show that between Feb 44 and Feb 45 at least 37 Nashorn were handed over to the Gen.Insp.d.Pz.Tr. for renewed distribution to units.
