I've uploaded a color photo of an unknown, late series 80' ELCO carrying a variation of 31/5P to:

According to an ELCO document, this scheme was applied to thirteen squadrons and was a predecessor to 31/20L. 31/5P was sprayed on and had "soft" edges, unlike 31/20L which had "hard" edges.
While I have seen one or two photos in which the side pattern was carried over onto the deck of an 80' ELCO, the prevalent scheme was solid Deck Green on both of these measures.
