Try asking over at the www.mustangsmustangs.com website and the forums there.
I have a beautiful period color photo of a training formation flight of a P-38, P-51A, and a P-47 Razorback. All appear to be very well-worn and are O/D over neutral gray. The ID numbers are painted in black inside a white oval on the nose (engine cowlings of the P-38.) The serial numbers are in yellow and very faded on the fuselage of the P-51 and on the tails of the other airplanes.
I really don't know if this color scheme would apply to all training squadrons or not, especially by late 1944.
