Yep, just one more interesting 109 scheme of many. I'm guessing the 7 is white as is the fuselage band. The painted out number is common but not sure what's going on at the supercharger intake. possibly replacement panel from a dark painted machine. Or, it's ortho film and the cowl and rudder are yellow. Who knows?
 
I would say it is not the ortho rather. If it would be , the small triangle below the fuel filler cap would be dark. But it is almost white what suggests the common film .
Regarding the engine cowling .. IMHO its dark appearance may be a result of overpainting of the yellow nose with dark coat. The same was done to the rudder as well. It looks like the kite was moved from another unit. The dark overpainted area at the place of the white 7 number may indicate there had been a different digit before. Also the lack of the squadron emblem contrary to the "white 2" may suggest that too.
