I was quite surprised at the camouflage scheme since they tended to operate at low level over Normandy. If (a big "if", obviously) it followed the usual 4.(F)123 practice, it would have been "blue 9" with a yellow rudder and yellow panel under the engine (as per ULTRA CX/MSS/T209/183). The ruder in the photo does appear a slightly different shade from the fuselage but of course that could be caused by reflection if it was at a slight angle.
