Very nice texture 
However I would doubt if the same texture were used on all the surfaces.

Re: Camouflage pattern on the KEROMAN III
It's probably hard to say. Even left in "natural" concrete the color will vary with the mix of concrete and with time. As concrete ages, it changes color. It also depends on how it weathers in various locations.

Re: Camouflage pattern on the KEROMAN III
It definitely has painted camouflage
The above pic is from 45/46 after the French navy took over the base
Looks like only the entrances ,roof FLAK towers where painted ,i got information from a French Bunker expert .... that the bunker was painted during construction.
thats why there no camo on the left side and MG bunker and that the most likely colors used where a yelow tan ,green and or black
