John,
This is a screen capture from John Huston's film "Report from the Aleutians". It shows a B-17E flying out of Adak and you can see that it has random patches of what appears to be Neutral Gray or some other paint applied to the airframe. This also appears on B-25s and some of P-38s in this theater. "Peggy D" and the other a/c seem to have the same type of random blotches on their control surfaces and airframes, so this may have been a common field applied camo mod at that time.
