Hi guys, Renmik is right they are identification lights.
In the P51 there is a switch box on the right cockpit wall with toggle switches for the individual coloured lights. The lights are switched on or off to show a particular pattern as required for ID, I think to prevent aa gunners shooting at their own, since it is the underside of the aircraft they will see.
I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will jump on here and tell us.
