Need help with early war camo on USS San Juan CL-54

Hello All,

I am searching for reference material on the USS San Juan CL-54. Specifically, I need drawings, sketches, and/or good quality photographs of the camouflage pattern that the USS San Juan was wearing early in WWII. The pattern was called Measure 12 (modified) and as we all know, that pattern varied from ship to ship

.

I own the Warship Perspectives book on Atlanta Class Cruisers in World War Two by Glenn R. Arnold. There is a color illustration of the port side of the San Juan in the color plates, albeit simplified. There are also a few photographs of the port and starboard sides with the ship in that pattern, but it is somewhat difficult to make out the details.

 

Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. If there is a cost involved, I am willing to bargain. Thanks.
