Translucent desert scheme on ME-110s?

Please see the paint scheme illustrated here:

Was the scheme above an actual painting practice? It would explain what others have pointed out, that the RLM light blue on Mediterranean ME-110s seems a darker, beiger color than the light blue on the 198 imp. gallon drop tanks often carried, intimating that an overspray had been applied to the standard, 'European' camouflage, as here: Messerschmitt-Bf-110E2-Zerstorer-9.ZG26-

The person doing the colouring may never have seen the actual aircraft.

You are far too lenient on the person who committed this 'work of art' or forgery, depending on how you look at it. These people are effectively claiming expertise where they probably don't have it.

The plague of these altered pictures is so widespread that one really must look at all colour pictures as fake unless there is some accompanying proof (or at least a statement) that they are genuine. I suppose the next thing will be surreptitiously  'enhancing'  black and white pictures so they more resemble the scheme that the 'artist' wishes had been on that particular aircraft.
