Think that it was the aircrew of the plane.

It depends on the military and the unit, usually. In some militaries this kind of thing is explicitly forbidden and that is well-enforced. In others, it’s at (say) the squadron commander’s discretion, possibly with guidelines from up high on what is or isn’t acceptable, and perhaps varying degrees of enforcement of these rules depending on whether it’s peace- or wartime, for example.

But as to what actual design is painted, I'd have thought that it would be down to the aircrew (if allowed and within official 'guidelines' etc.)
