Aircraft Markings

Could somebody please help me with the correct aircraft markings for XL-500 when in service with 849 HQ flight in October 1963.

The nose number would have been 414 at that stage but how was the propeller boss marked for HQ flight ? (B flight = black and yellow / C Flight = black and white etc.)
I assume the aircraft would have had CU for Culdrose on the tail.

Thanks for any help you can offer. I am having a model made for my father who was a "Looker" (SOBS) with 849 at that time and flew in that aircraft many times with the C/O Butch Barnard as pilot. I hope he is still around when XL-500 gets back in the air again.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

P.S. Lt. Cdr. Andy Robinson is my sisters Godfather !
