Also, it looks in my one book with a color plate of a 111/JG 27 airplane (in this case a Bf 109G-14) that there was yellow coloring.

Don't discount your father's memory too soon; Me-109s would often carry 20mm cannons in underwing gun pods-ESPECIALLY if they were going up against Heavy Bombers....
