Thanks for your interest, bygp. You're right, they're not the correct colours, although it is a display put up by the city parks department, and their small budget probably meant they had to use whatever leftover paint thay could find!
The colours should have been more like the picture below (on a later Mk 9 Spitfire)...
Most 'roundels' on Spitfires in WW2 had an outer yellow circle around the blue one. Incidentally, some French pilots flew Spitfires in WW2. The first was Maurice Choron, who joined the RAF in August 1940, shot down a Heinkel in November, but he disappeared on April 10, 1942 over Northern France, during the first mission flown by No 341 (Free French) Squadron “Ile de France”. He was credited with three confirmed and three probable victories.

Looks like genuinely undisturbed and forgotten junk - one of the best three interpretations of the theme. Attention-grabbing low angle, leads the eye into the picture. Nice soft colours. Great use of wide-angle lens. Says something ghostly about the history of this place, asking questions but providing few answers.

After 15 years, I have finally completed my collection, hopefully in time for their FF use on the MZ-D's successor.
(I'll have to get rid of that nasty filter on the 43! I'm not sure whether Pentax made any silver filters like the nice ones Contax provided for their Zeiss G lenses.)
