Sounds logical. Interesting how the paint wore on the white color but the grey is ok.

Looks like the fuselages may have been repainted (or at least touched up). My guess is the special radome coating is harder to find.

The airframes have definitely been repainted. They were delivered to the IIAF in the "Asia Minor" scheme of tan, brown, and green over light gray. I presume the desert climate and flight usage have worn the tan paint off of the radome fiberglass.
