The location where numbers was applied could also vary - nose, fuselage or tail were all options. Color was usually white, occasionally rimmed with some other color, or occasionally yellow or red. Blue or green seem to have been rare, although anything might have been possible.

if you about real life, yes, although i'm not specialist in this question, apparently standards are often not respected, we even have a bad joke - "там где заканчивается порядок - начинается военная авиация" - ie in VVS no order...

so, it's can be not easy...

and just for fun, naive soviet pin-up...
