The yellow triangle is the fuel octane marker and would have been extant on all 109's of the period. It was not uncommon for the numerals or other markings to partly obscure or overlap them. As far as I'm aware, the triangle would have been present on the airframe from factory. Thus, its existence on the fuselage would pre-date all the numerals.
