I learned something from the comments!!! An earlier use of black and white bands was on the Hawker Typhoon and early production Hawker Tempest Mark Vs. The aircraft had a similar profile to the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 and the bands were added to aid identification in combat. The order was promulgated on 5 December 1942. At first they were applied by unit ground crews, but they were soon being painted on at the factory.

Is this supposed to be 1940? Invasion stripes (1944)on Typhoon?

The "invasion stripes" seen on Typhoons were used on them at least a year before D-Day because the profile of the Typhoon resembled the 190

Right! Several Typhoons were shot down by friend fire, by that similar looking.
