John Emilius "Johnny" Fauquier's Lancaster?

Does anyone have information with regards to Air Commodore John Emilius "Johnny" Fauquier's Lancaster while he was with 617 Squadron KC-E NG445. I was watching a documentary on Youtube called Bombing Hitler's Supergun. At the 39 minute 10 second mark his Lancaster is visible in the film for a few seconds.
It looks like the left outer and right outer vertical stabilizers and rudder are not painted with the standard all black night mission scheme like the inside vertical stabilizers and rudders do. The markings appear to be another solid colour yellow possibly or the mauve colour I have seen used on other squadron flight leaders planes.
Is there any other information of NG445 with daylight flight leader markings? I know he had black and white tail markings on his Grand slam Lancaster that he flew. I also am aware of the yellow Berchtesgaden raid markings for flight leaders.

KC-E NG455 was not on that mission.
