about Nowotny's 262 ...

Hi guys, long time no see.
I used the "search" mode but what I found brought more questions than answers so can someone help me ?
I take it from one of O Menu's posts that the 262s from Kommando Nowotny didn't have the yellow fuselage and engine band and most of them didn't have the wooden tail.
OK.
As usual Olivier's posts are well documented.
So here are my questions.
- many a book shows a picture of 262s, reportedly from kommando Nowotny, all with the yellow band. The "yellow 13" for example, or the "white 4". If they do not belong to K Nowotny, where do they come from ?
- what was Nowotny's plane ? can we assume it is the " white 8" W Nr 110400 as some model makers claim ? (I take it Trumpeter does ... with yellow bands and everything !)

Sorry for beeing one more bloke with the same questions ...
