Chris,
All of our planes were painted olive drab.

Our group and sqdn tail markings were a diamond for group, and within the diamond roman numerals 1 to 4 for sqdns

After I left, early in '44 the group marking was a large yellow diamond with a black Y inserted, all points touching

Send me an e-mail and I will send you a picture of the earlier marking
