This profile represents an aircraft of an unknown unit that wore a partial white finish by distemper.
 
 
This interesting image show "white 40" with its pilot and ground crew. 
A cover (white on one side, dark on the other one) covers the nose and is being removed.
The date, place, unit and pilot's name are still unknown.
This plane appears on a movie, and many images of it, and of planes of the same unit, are available.
Here is a drawing of uppersurfaces based on the images. 
It's not sure that the wingtips were painted white.
Note the unusual form of black bands.
