The question is, of course, if they were wearing clearly identifyable civilian markings, or Red Stars (or a mix of both). Also, did the transports wear camouflage scheme?
All the photos I've seen from this period show the usage of camouflage (often applied directly on the original aluminum livery), and Red Stars.
