Markings on Jean Navarre's Nieuports

Did Jean Navarre have any personal markings on his Nieuports?

Check out the Osprey publication Nieuport Aces of World War 1 for a color profile of Navarre's Nieuport 11 s/n N576. This machine featured broad tricolor fuselage bands in the same order as the rudder colors. The wheel covers were also finished in the French cockade.

Navarre is also well-known as the pilot of a predominantly red Nieuport in the skies over Verdun. Unfortunately, I don't have a reference to any color plate of this aircraft.
