Burma-based TG-5s painting scheme

Hello, One of the most underestimated subject in the USAAF gliding history are the TG-5s used operationally in the CBI. I would like to ask you if there was a regulation how to paint those TG-5s at Burma for instance? The photographs of CBI-based TG-5s are ultra rare but I know one privately taken photograph that shows the 1st Air Commando Group airfield. Bamboo-rattan house or barn can be seen there, the tents, one B-25 Mitchell and six TG-5 gliders. Those TG-5s are painted very originally. • two of them are silver or gray overall without any s/n or national markings • one of them is silver or gray with new US national insignia with side bars • three of them are in OD camouflage scheme with older national insignia without side bars Does anybody know anything more about the orders how to paint the TG-5s in the CBI? Thanks in advance for possible consultation. Best regards Gregory
