Not so fast.... It was a part of the camouflage scheme.

If one of the following URLs is right in that the French markings were just overlaid with RAF markings then it could be so. Definitely not RAF camouflage but that would have been time-wasting and expensive.
See painting at very bottom of this URL. Add another couple of colours and these could have been later flying in Vietnam!
How do you know that some were not flown to the UK when France fell during WWII ?

No mistake. Free french Haifa flight 1941. Aeromaster did those decals in 1/48, and I have a few photos of this bird.
I do, I have the photo somewhere. Also operated a Potez 63-13 and several other ex-French aircraft in the Middle East Remove nospam to reply!!
Yes but still not RAF standard camouflage pattern and colours.
