Indrek -

The upper wing roundel is called a "B style" roundel; it was in use in
all positions from 1923 - 1947 on night bombers; after 1937 it was
used only on top surfaces. It is red/blue. The roundel on the
cowling is a C1 style; it was in use on camouflaged surfaces except
top until 1944, used on top surfaces 1945 - 1947.

D-day was 6 June 1944, thus the use of the two styles of roundel is
correct.
