Will have a look.

After searching for more information, I believe I have been able to make some progress on the subject of the paint scheme of the T-28s deployed in Tierra del Fuego.
From a Uruguayan publication (the Uruguayan Navy acquired the T-28s from the COAN in 1980), I found the following (automatic translation from spanish):
 

Quote

Let us recall that in December 1978, the T-28s of the Argentine Naval Aviation School received a tactical camouflage in view of Operation “Tronador.” This paint scheme did not include the aircraft number or any other identification markings, except for the Argentine flag on both sides of the vertical fin. This fact facilitated the conversion of the markings for our service, with the word “ARMADA” added in black on both sides of the fuselage, behind the observer’s position; the Uruguayan flag on the mid section of the rudder, extending onto the vertical fin together with the small aircraft number, which was also repeated on the engine cowling. The roundel with the Artigas flag was applied on both sides on the lower surface of the wings.

So basically, the scheme used during the conflict was the same as the Uruguayan one, without the “ARMADA” inscription, and with only the Argentine flag on the vertical fin.
