There's always a possibility of non-standard markings on individual aircraft but the rules had changed back in the summer of 1944 for aircraft on the Western Front. Go to http://www.ghostbombers.com and click on the tag for "Markings and camouflage" for some of the instructions issued to Luftwaffe units.

It is possible for a yellow spinner in December 1944, but very doubtful. I have not seen one to date.

It is possible for an a/c to have a yellow engine pannier. It is more likely that a G-6 still in service might have a yellow pannier. Far less likely for a G-14 and very unlikely for a G-14/AS, a G-10, or a K-4.

There are no definitive answers. We are giving you our best and most likely guess.
