Can anybody confirm what I believe are lights (teardrop fairing) on the undersides of the ME-163 Komet fuselage? They appear to be amber on both sides in the photos I took at the Air Force Museum. They also appear to be amber lights in the restored Paul Allen example. On other survivors, they just look like small air scoops, but I suspect that's simply the absence of a lens.
Would they indeed be amber? Purpose?
Thanks in advance!
