Smile KLM constellation colors

The photo postcard I have of a KLM Constellation shows half of the top part of each tail rudder fin with the dutch colors from top RED, WHITE, BLUE. the fuselage is silver or unpainted. I dont pick out any colors on the wings - and dont remember any on the KLM Constellation I flew on in 1954/5 - I was looking at the engine on the right burning before it was extinguished. Bumpy ride when that happened. Landed at a Dutch base on Biak (Indon.) Island for repairs before resuming flight to Sydney from Amsterdam. Bob Koomans, Brisbane
