Yes, but when you look at some of the aircraft in the older daglo red / silver scheme that you can see their serial number, the code number on the fuselage is also the same large number you see it wearing in the later yellow / silver / red stripe scheme he is looking at.
I.e XYZ 123 would carry the same number on the side when it changes paint schemes as long as it was remaining on the same UAS otherwise paperwork could get confusing if it changed, if it went for repaint as Sn XYZ 123 code 11 It would come out with its new scheme wearing the same Serial number XYZ 123 and code number 11.
does that make sense?
