Hope that narrows down your search. I think that quite a few of the Hunter pilots are Indian Air Force and possibly also one or two in the Javelin photo.
64 Sqn had an incident on the 5th Nov 63 with a Javelin overshooting the runway after an abandoned take off at Kalaikunda. The Sqn moved from Duxford to be the sister Sqn of Sixty at Tengah.
The 64 Sqn archives must be accessible somewhere.
For the Hunter, there were two resident Indian Hunter sqns that had a white disc in that position. No14 Bulls Sqn IAF is my best guess based on the size of the circle, the other which had a larger disc was the Indian Hunter OCU. It is a pity that no detail beyond a white circle is evident.
