Suez stripes on helicopters?

I've been reading about HUP-2s serving with the French Aeronavale during Operation Mousquetaire. But I've not seen a photo or any mention of their being marked with yellow and black bands, as most fixed-wing a/c were.
For example, the F4U-7s operating from the carriers which had a few HUPs on board wore those colorful markings.
Anyone seen a photo or any other evidence that the helicopters wore the stripes as well?
