The Mk. III was camouflaged,the scheme being fairly consistent with published instructions.Basically U.S. DuPont shades of British colours.In some cases the U.S. Gray was repainted with British Ocean Grey.White I.D. stripes on fin and tailplanes.The white was also applied on the nose and spinners but usually overpainted.
The Mk. IVa in the photo I saw was Natural Metal.Codes "WHC" were in black,forward of the roundel,below the sliding canopy.Letters were of the smaller size used by many squadrons.Wingco pennant below the windscreen on the left side of the fuselage.Might have been one on the right side,as well.Serial number below the tailplanes was applied in the "slanted" style found on many RAF Mustangs,i.e. parallel with the ground and not a/c centreline."C"-type upper wing roundels without coloured surround as on 2TAF planes.Wing leading edges were yellow.The nose could not be seen in the photo,but according to Werner,the spinner was red.He first introduced the red spinner as a CO marking when he took command of 234 Sqn,a practice he also used as a wingco.According to Werner,it made his plane a little easier to spot and formate upon after a dogfight or ground attack.
