Yellow in both cases.
Regardless of what might have been said or written by veterans, the use of the (washable) yellow and white I.D. paint is well documented, and photographed, first being noted in RAF A.I. crash reports as of 12th August, IIRC.
 
Wayne a pleasure to see your works that clean and neat are a pleasure for the eyes
 


I agree with Terry. Both pics show the same Bf 109E-4/N that was A.Galland's mount flown by him in November-December 1940. Undoubtedly the engine cowling of yellow while the "saddle" of the standard camouflage at that time.The kind of ID markings is characteristic for very late 1940. During the BoB the ID markings looked differently and were applied at different areas ( wing, rudder tips for instance )

As far as the Priller's kite is concerned. Here is her shot showing the port side with the engine cowling attached. With no doubt the part wasn't of the yellow at that time. The lack of the swastika at the fin is caused by the censorship because both the images were offered at the Ebay with the nazi markings retouched. Also please notice that the plane camo was also refreshed a little bit .



Contrary to the one above the plane had the engine cowling and rudder yellow painted in October 1940. The difference between the yellow painted cowling can be noticed.

 
It looks great Wayne. to pick up on an earlier conversation we had, your 109 for your "hun in the sun" is coming together and will soon be hunting down my rookiue Spitfire......
