Nilsen: Keep in mind the color profile you showed isn't the best representation of the accurate colors. The lights are too light and the darks are too dark.
On "blue 8" the only big differences are:
1) old markings painted over in green before "8+*" was painted on
2) no white rudder
[edit: Not counting minor camo line demarcation changes]
It would be, essentially, the same skin.
