No need to suffer bepuzzlement over the upper surface paint scheme on
Bf 109B/C/D WNr. 544, B V + E S or R V + E S (references not to hand to know if 544 was a Bertha, Caesar, or Dora; strongly suspect a Bertha). This is simply an early (and obsolete) Bf 109 that survived to serve in a training or noncombat establishment (note the decidedly noncombat aircraft in the background) in 1940 and later. A great many—probably all—such retired survivors received a repaint in due course, possibly after a mishap, possibly not.
