I would hazard a guess that those are not actually color photos, I think they have been colorized.  I have BW copies of those and I was comfortable with the accuracy of the band.  I will take a look at it again before I submit to make sure though.
The web site only places actual colour photos no touch ups to the best of my memory.

Well, they are showing a dark plum color when the original plane was blue.

I wasn't thinking at all about colour just the placement of the band around the canopy it just looks to close to the planes lettering code on the side of it.

I will take another look at the BW photos, but I thought I followed it pretty darn well.  There is also a profile of the plane which I had.
