Win,
I'm a bit surprised myself. I've seen quite a few photos with the white triangle. If it wasn't for the crew photo, I probably would question it more. In it, you can't see the squadron code, but you can see the black triangle on the tail as well as the  camo paint on the wings and engine nacelles.
I'm about halfway done with my model replica of the Belle of the Barbary Coast. I decided to go with the black markings although I did the serial number in yellow.  I'm pretty happy with the way it's turning out so far.
