These links may help:

http://guides.wikinut.com/History-of-IAF%3AHow-the-B-24-Heavy-Bomber-became-part-of-the-Indian-Air-Force/1860sd68/

As the heading of this article states "to IAF HE834", IAF being the
Indian Air Force.

Agreed, the colouring of the roundels are incorrect for both RAF and
IAF, but as the picture is a drawing it looks as though the artist got
carried away by substituting red for orange and blue for green.

Thanks for that very interesting link. I had always just assumed these
aircraft were sold to India by UK, but apparently not so.
