P-38 F-1 Glacier Girl with wrong US insignia

Can someone tell me why Glacier Girl's US National Aircraft Insignia is the old star with red dot? This version of the insignia only lasted until May 6, 1942 and after this date, the red dot was removed. Photos taken after the P-38 crash landed in Greenland clearly show only the familiar blue and white insignia. Since this Lightning crash landed on July 15, 1942, it would seem something is wrong.
