Preserved Dakota / DC-5 / DC-6 / Constellation in KLM colours

I was at Schipol yesterday and my day was brightened by seeing close-up the take-off of a Dakota (the chap from KLM who I was with called it a Dakota, not a DC-3. I thought only we Brits did that). It was painted in KLM colours down one side and Air France down the other.

Chatting about it, the KLM person said he thought that there was also a DC-5 in KLM colours but he then said that it has multiple fins which sounds like a Constellation to me.

I have found out that an Air Atlantique DC-6 has KLM colours at the moment and the that Breitling Constellation's colours look a bit like KLM but can anyone shed any further light, please?
