Yes, the curtains were painted on the windows on many of the later
Rolands - I think this was a field modification.

Their decal sheet for the CII has the whale's mouth - really a big
smile. There were some Rolands with REAL sharks mouths of the
Flying Tigers type. The Aircraft in profile shows one of these. I could
manage a B+W photocopy for whoever originally asked about this.
As far as Airfix being bonkers....wouldn't surprise me.
