Elsewhere in the report he says that it is green and yellow down the
side, red and yellow check to the rear end, and that it displays the
word ambulance (in unspecified colours).

The description of the vehicle as marked "in bold red and green
colouring"

I suppose you could interpret the vehicle pictured above as "White and
Yellow" with "Red and Green markings", but it wouldn't be my most
intuitive way of expressing it.

Yup, most of us would refer to it as an ambulance:-)

So does the report of course. The word "ambulance" being in bold red on
the back and bold green on the front might be what was being referred to
in that bit of the description. (Assuming the back of the CR-V involved
has similar coloured lettering to The A-class in Roland's photo.
Possibly "red and yellow check" actually refers to a similar pattern to
the photo too. Not that it's relevent.)

A Honda based ambulance matching the general description today passed me
earlier today and I noted that the primary markings really are the
yellow and green on the right and left sides. The rear and front retain
mostly the underlying silver/grey colour of the vehicle, and the
low-profile light-bar could easily be confused with some arbitrary
roof-mount unless lit.

Basically, more like this:
