I believe it was G-DBCB which had a blue port nacelle cowling.
I flew on it last Sunday DUB-LHR and it had been repainted white. You could still see flecks of blue though!
The Dove livery is nice enough - the golden Union Flag looks very good, I think. The weird "eye" details on the cockpit and some of the feather work does look a bit odd though.
