Few to get things started.
14th Sentai.
All three of these aircraft were in process of becoming Kamikaze aircraft but were damaged before that process was finished.
They were conventional bombers prior to that change.

I don't think this profile is accurate with the red tipped tail throwing it into the mix anyway.

Oops just saw that other thread.

98th Sentai 2nd Chutai.
This is the first of several aircraft that you will see a distinctive change on the front and rear of the aircraft due to two different colours being used.
Front half was built and painted at a different location than the rear so there was no matching of colours when the two half's showed up for assembly,they just bolted them together. With colour photos that will show up later for other aircraft there is several possible combinations that this aircraft could be. The decal profile would not be a solid green as is shown.

Solid light grey KI-67.
This one gets into a "case at a time situation" for submission due to the fact no squadron is listed of who it served with.
It was shot down as it was coming into land at an airfield in Japan.
https://www.pacificwrecks.com/people/veterans/myers/index.html
After looking at all the bases Mr Myers was working at Irumagawa Airfield seems the best candidate for this KI-67 wreck because it was the home for the 14th Sentai a KI-67 unit near wars end.
I have already posted profiles and photos of these planes earlier in this thread.
https://www.pacificwrecks.com/airfields/japan/irumagawa/index.html
There is no squadron markings of any type.

The only profile I have found for an all light grey profile is this one.
(http://i65.tinypic.com/2nr9g5.jpg)
Its not a match of course and i have never found a photo to match this profile to date.

#80.

(http://i63.tinypic.com/jh7bqv.jpg)
No profile for this one but i think it maybe a 3rd Chutai aircraft. What is unusual is the two different sized number 6's.
The only reason I think it is a 3rd Chutai aircraft is that the meatball is difficult to see as is the squadron symbol on the tail.
3rd Chutai is red.

Also I think the rudder tab is actually yellow based off of the photo all the profiles seemed to miss this.

170th Bakugekitai.
This squadron was hastily put together near wars end with surviving aircraft from several squadrons.
These are the colour photos that I had mentioned before in this thread with the two different painted fuselages assembled together. I don't know much about film,some are without a blue filter and there is a few with the blue filter that gives a natural colour appearance.
In the photos there is three different colours shown a solid light grey with a glossy finish all the way at the rear with partial view of the tail number.
I believe its is #227.
A couple of solid green aircraft.
#104 & #458.
Then we get into the third colour blue/grey #516 has its rear portion painted in this manner.
The Japanese used this colour on a number of their aircraft and a few colour photos and actual aircraft parts painted this way exist today.
Greebo has dibs on #516 everyone.
Then in the last photo we have a green and grey combination on #079.

Difference in appearance with the filter.

Close up view black and white of the demarcation line.
(http://i68.tinypic.com/30m9x8x.jpg)
The problem with black and white photos there could be many of these aircraft painted in the blue/grey scheme.
No way of telling sadly.

That is about it for aircraft that I photos for that also have profiles.
A few I have I have not posted yet as Greebo has chosen those to skin.
Everything else are profiles I have found that could be real or maybe not.
:headscratch: Who knows.

While on mottled skins I have no idea what unit this aircraft was with it was one of many aircraft left on the Tachikawa air base, Japan, 1945.

There seems to be a few of these mottled KI-67's about and they most certainly seen combat as shown in the clips below.
It is right at the beginning I recommend just to pause the video and use the slider to view it best its only there a few seconds. A second KI-67 is in this clip a little later its a solid colour though.
http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/news-footage/mr_00084880
Same aircraft I believe additional film.
1 min 19 sec mark.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msb8OdvBBjU
There is no question that Hamamatsu Flight Training Division did see combat as mentioned in the link below.
http://warfarehistorynetwork.com/daily/wwii/prelude-to-iwo-jima-the-japanese-assault-on-b-29-base-on-marianas/
As well as in a book on KI-67's I have.
