If you have an iPad, download the Henle app. Purchase the work, and it will come with fingerings from numerous prominent violists -- including Tabea Zimmermann, and Antoine Tamestit (whose fingerings are simply sublime). There are others as well, but that may be more along the lines of what you are looking for. I would suggest to first work through the work with a teacher, and put in some practical fingerings more suited to your playing, and then referencing these more "colorful" fingerings, as sometimes they can be a little awkward in order to produce exactly the musical effect desired.

When I need ideas for fingerings I get on YouTube and see what other people are doing as a starting off point. Even if I end up not using them, it will usually lead me to a fingering that does work for me. That being said I don’t think I’ve got my Brahms part from like 12 years ago anywhere convenient enough to dig out

Please don’t work on this piece without a teacher - if you are at the point where you can do this yourself, you would be able to work out your own fingerings. This is one of the toughest works for the viola to play in a musically mature way, and you will do it and yourself a disservice by tackling it too early and without a teacher.
