Interestingly, the 355 FG assigned the 358 FS yellow for cowl and rudder. But this was done after march '44 and applied only to the P-51s which the unit received in March of '44.
The cowl does look a different tone than the yellow prop tips, but that may be due to the different yellows.

The red/blue and Yellow squadron markings replaced the all white spinner and cowl band of the 355th FG in November 1944.
