Thanks for your input Dave. The above posted photo of the Martinsyde F3 clearly shows a dark overall finish both top, bottom and sides. The prop also appears to have been blacked out. It is just a guess that this aircraft and B1494 were finished in Nivo but the date of "5.18" fits the time at which Orfordness was experimenting with Nivo. I will never get a definitive answer but It seems probable that these two Martinsyde F3 were done in "night flying" schemes. I am hoping maybe something new might pop up. Cheers.
