I think the only point to be clarified is when the 2nd Gruppe bar did change (if ever) from front cross position to back cross position. On Fels machine(s) the bar is obviously yellow (at least not white).

@As for "red outlined white band": why not?
So; we can suppose that concerning the following picture it has been described - if any report done - as "Yellow band outlined Red" comparing with "normal" RV bands. It's not a bit and pičces wreck yet we don't know the unit.
Without this photo in hands were we going to suppose it should have been "a case of misidentification"?

@As for CEA 264.
Steve, the published page on Lu/Ga 4 is stating “The vertical band nearer the cockpit was painted red, whilst the aft band was painted white”.
Do you mean that Kees Mol didn’t have the whole report? Or that He did use only that page to prove his theory?
Did you read Kees Mol article? If yes, can you please use arguments written in this article with which you don’t agree?
Can you put a scan of the whole CEA 264 report or send me it in my mailbox please? It will be very helpful to make my own judgement.
Thanks very much for your kind help.

Regards, Franck.
Excellent point, Franck!

"Weisse 12" is still puzzling us, no clues so far...bar the fact this three colors RV Band is still unaccounted for. And that it isn't JG or JGr 300... Our documentation of those "odd" or unseen before RV markings slowly comes together. Let's keep it up!

Cheers
Marc
