That seems unusual; US markings on fuselage and British markings on the tail

Not really uncommon. B-25s and probably other U.S. aircraft also carried them as well in the desert campaign. Kinda of a "I'm on your side" marking but I believe there was official orders for it

 

[special ed]

The blue circle most likely overpainted the yellow surround used in the early North African campaign on U.S. aircraft.
