Hurricane Mk XII 133 RCAF Squadron s/n 5389

Hey guys.

I'm appealing to the masses for some help to nail down some facts to help with our Hurricane Mk XII restoration (http://www.calgarymosquitosociety.com/aircraft.htm). Our Hurricane was built at the Canadian Car and Foundry Company and is known to be s/n 5389 and we strongly believe it was coded "M". We know the service history of the aircraft but need to verify a few things regarding the appearance of the aircraft during its service to begin planning for painting. Here are my questions:

1) I have read that the s/n's may have been painted over at some point for security reasons. Does anyone have references to confirm this?
2) What were the exact colours the Canadian Car and Foundry used in the camouflage paint? The colours appear to replicate Dark Green/Dark Earth but we need to know if there were Canadian or FS standard equivalents that were used instead. We also need to verify the underside colour.
3) Need to verify that the camouflage scheme replicated the British A or B scheme.
4) We have limited pictures of 133 squadron Hurris and probably have anything available on the net. If anyone has photos in books or in their possession, I'd appreciate if they could be posted or, if you prefer, send me a PM so I can get them via e-mail.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
