Vigilant raises an interesting point. Ground forces unfamiliar with aircraft might well identify solely on national markings. At ranges under 500 meters, they would be able to see them at least.
Air defense forces seem to traditionally have difficulty identifying friendly from enemy aircraft. The only reason why US forces have had less of a problem with this is because US aircraft have often been the only ones in the sky, and STILL they have shot down friendlies by mistake.
