Changes were if I remember correctly to make the prop strobe so you could see it when running, that black and white odd banded striped one shows it above in post 52..also at about the same time the red cross to show the location of the first aid kit was changed to green as it was against the Geneva Convention to fire on aircraft carrying the red cross, and as it was a military aircraft it was seen as not playing fair.
