Hs 123 camouflage diagram

Please compare these two of the same unit: top one in 70/71 and the lower in the earlier three colour upper scheme. Note that the demarcation lines on both are different, so that on the top machine, there is no paint-over on an earlier scheme with a single colour as only two colours are evident, and one can see that there is no bleed-through of the older colours boundaries. Therefore the boundaries on the upper machine indicate only two, not three, colours.

Two colors are not clearly evident. Unless you consider the shadow a second, and darker color. At that close any demarcation along the cowl, etc would be clear, as would a demarcation on the spat.

If it is a single green than is it 70 or 71? From the info presented it does not appear that that is very evident.

Considering the non-existent color contrast fuselage/propeller, for me is the RLM 70 Schwarzgrün
