Yes, although it would have been the NACA in those days. And the USCG hadn't yet adopted the pretty white and orange color scheme. I think, with a few exception, the pre-war scheme was natural aluminum or aluminum dope or enamel with orange-yellow wing upper surfaces and the vertical USCG red-white-blue rudder. As far as I know, USCG color schemes were identical to those of the Navy during the war, although there may have been some local variations.

I will defer to others on plausible wartime NACA schemes. Photographs seem to indicate natural metal or service camouflage during the war and natural aluminum, white, red, or yellow after the war. The X-planes are well documented. One could extrapolate a Burnelli NACA scheme from those, I imagine.
