Re: Siebel 204 markings
"meaning of the vertical bands behind the wings on fuselage"
These were (two) Yellow stripes painted all around the fuselage, and painted on aircraft used for Multi Engine and Blind Flying Training (todays ME & IFR training). Possibly the stripes were to warn other pilots the plane fly straight (and maybe no one on the lookout as teacher occupied with explaining to student!)
Previously such stripes were also painted on prototype aircraft.
