Particularly #02282 which had the blue circle and white star with the red ball in the center, on the right body side, and on the upper left wing, the circle and star without the red ball. All pictures of the other B-25s on the Hornet deck are taken at a lower angle and cannot be determined if they have the same as #02282, although all appear to have the red ball on the sides, but some appear to lack the red ball on the upper wing. There is one that does have the red ball on the underside of the wing.
