The markings on the ventral fins display the name 'rausmaus' with a stylized mousehead in "jaws" style above. I know cause i painted these markings as a crewchief on Twente in this period with 315 Sq.
The name came from the fact that the plane's electrical wiring was nibbled at by mouses that managed to climb in through the main gear bays during X-mas period when the plane was in a HAS for a week. We found quite a number of dead mice in the plane. It took several months to complete repairs!
Later the markings were also applied to J-139 probably when the crewchief Andre Serdijn was assigned to another plane.
