Why did Brits paint invasion stripes on Sea Fury’s during Korean War?

[ScottsGT]

Honestly, I do not know that much history behind this aircraft.  I always assumed it was a WWII plane I just never heard much about. Now that I’m building a Sea Fury I started reading into the history of it. Okay, it’s post WWII, development started during the war. 
I also discovered the Brits painted the D Day invasion stripes on the during the Korean War. But I could not find why.  
Anyone know?  To honor those that fought on D Day?

The same reason as the ww2 stripes. Allowing the gunners to make a quick call. friendly/foe recognition thingie .

Aww come on.  That just makes too much sense! 🤪

Guess I should have thought about the obvious.

Also, perhaps, to use up WWII surplus Lend-lease paint.... They probably

had gobs of it. No?

Paint has a limited shelf life. 

[belugawhaleman]

Right....so they had to use it up! Just as I thought. Incidentally, before We

moved from our house built in 1976, I used some of the original paint from

a can used to paint my bedroom to cover a scratch on the wall ...the paint

Was fine... Thirty+ years after it was last opened.

Hmmm. Often the lend /lease stuff were destroyed after the war, that way the leasing contract was fulfilled without paying. Unless the return/ purchase was reasonably applicable.  
I don’t see reason why would Royal Air Force be using surplus paint in Korea, five years after it was produced. 
,,, but instead of speculation I can look into it.

It was only meant as a joke.
