Battle camouflage

Hi,

According to official Camouflage Scheme there should be s/n on two positions (rear fuselage and rudder) on A.A.S.F. Fairey Battles. Both positions were used in pre-war Battle camouflages as well. But there is a number of these light bombers too which have had (documented by photographs) s/n only on the rear fuselage in campaign after 10 May 1940. Can someone explain me why did exist such examples ?
It looks specially the 12 Sqn used mainly the fuselage position, the 105 Sqn had few of a/c in that camo too.

Regards,
Michal
