Thanks for your reply!
What you show above is the standard (most common) practice for Chutai-colours in the Sentai. Some time ago I was dealing with the question what is the colour of the Sentai-markings in two very particular cases: Ki-44s of Makoto Ogawa and Yoshio Yoshida. Both known as members of the 3rd chutai, thus should have yellow markings.


I never believed this theory - the marking was too dark to be yellow, compared with the red hinomaru.
After months of comparing sources and searching through the newer ones I found this:

So as per the above the first Chutai had red markings, not white.
I personally have never seen 70th Sentai Ki-44 with white markings - maybe they existed but photos are not easy to find.
