Romanian 1st armored division

I would like to ask you knowlegdeable people a question about the 1st armored division.
I know that in 1944 they received some panzer iv and some stugIII. Does anyone know whether they were used in original fabrication color (probably the typical dark grey used by the germans) or did the Romanians changes the color and if so, what color did they use?
Also, what markings were put on the tank? I suppose they use the yellow and blue st Michaels cross and possibly also a white(ish) outline of this cross but did they also number their tanks? If they did, does anyone know what numbers were used and where the were put(side or back of the cupola).

In advance, thanks for sharing your knowledge

The Rumanians left the German AFV's in their original colours, having done the same with their German AFV's earlier in the war.
