Black undersides became more and more common towards the end of the war as B-29s switched to low alt nighttime incendiary raids on Japanese cities. IIRC Boeing had even started painting them that way in the factory. There's a few schemes shown at the link below and I've seen photos of others in this scheme in the books I have.
