I was under the impression that 81/82 were to replace 70/71 as on the Do 335 and Me 262.

The order stated that all aircraft that previously would have been painted in 70/71 were to be painted in 81/82 so from the beginning it was a pure replacement of those colors. Later on a new order was given that all aircraft were to be painted in 81/82. If I recall correctly both these orders have been found in documents so it is not speculation.
