WWII Tail markings

I have just noticed in a model magazine an article about a ME 262 kit by Trumpeter.
On the rear fuselage just in front of the tail fin there are blue white and red bands pretty much like you see on most British aircraft from that period, but are usually on the tail fin.
I was always of the opinion that they were part of the British markings for military aircraft. It looks like that is not the case. I have never noticed them on any other aircraft before.

Does anyone know the significance of these markings please?

There were some B+W photos of a real ME 262 that had the markings in the write up.
