Very interesting ! Do you have serials of some of the aircraft with this camouflage scheme that I could look up ?

The top plan view is two tone shadow shaded, perhaps in two dark grays, but perhaps some other pair. Some were diverted to the AAF and it is my belief that those were partially over painted in US colors to create a “second”: lower Pacific version not unlike the so called HAD scheme.
