Anyone know a site with info about the markings on British airborne vehicles during that period?

Do the numbers make any sense … or is it just to confuse the enemy?

@ Ssendam
Standard British late war divisional markings, on top of standard arm of service colours.
The divisional flash on the other mudguard would identify the Division (in this case a pale blue depiction of Bellerophon mounted on Pegasus, on a maroon background). A combination of the two would identify the unit, to those in the know.
