I have read that the red/white paint was put on tha 190D's because they were used to provide air cover for ME-262's during take off and landing. The stripes helped AA batteries distinguish the 190D from marauding Allied fighters that liked to pick off the 262's when they were most vulnerable. I've never seen other German fighters with similar stripes.
