Yes I suspect it will probably do my head in if I try! As you say the logical way would be to follow the timeline in a few different squadrons, to see if it was time related or just local practice.

No need to worry about the Aussie P40s pictured, they're operating in SWPA so they bear RAAF markings (blue and white only). DAF was under RAF command so all British Commonwealth squadrons operating with DAF bore RAF markings (red/white/blue).
