RAF Tail Markings

Can anyone please clarify a qustion about RAF tail markings.
Throughout my service, 1952-65, tail markings were red-white-blue from leading edge to trailing edge. As this:

The Armee de l'Air used blue-white-red like this:

But I often see photos showing RAF/RFC a/c marked as this:

Were the RFC/RAF markings blue-white-red? If so when were they changed to Red-White-Blue?
