Interesting on the question of 02. I have seen 65 which has gone somewhat whiter, we see here 02 on the flipside of this, so could that be 02 faded ? An upper wing panel maybe, but underside, doubt it would have changed so much, unless display since being taken at the time or in recent years has done so. Where has it been kept all these years ?

One can take flaked paint and rub it down to reveal the original colour lurking underneath, as the fade is only surface deep. If you do try that on this, keep it very localised and use a scalpel on an area a few mm at most ! There were two shades of 65, one had a bit more green about it.
