Gee thanks for the pictures. I would never have guessed the bottom of the Curare was painted as shown. Quite a contrast to the top paint scheme.
you're right, i looked twice (or more) to make sure it's the same plane! VERY primitive compared to the top
Most of the guys back then(and some today) would make the bottom of the plane a sharp contrast to the top. This would provide a strong visual reference as to what attitude the aircraft was in.
