Here's a ground picture of XW312 taken at the 1970 Leuchars show. As you can see it's not carrying any team markings.
I bought this picture of eBay showing XW312 in it's 1972 paint scheme
I was outbid on this picture ..... but here's the version used in eBay. It was dated September 1972. I don't know where the picture was taken
XW312 was painted up ( & used ) for the 1973 season. It was featured in a couple of magazines
