| Could it be that the paint was to reflect the thermal radiation from a nuclear detonation?
The undersides of the fuselage and wings of some B52s were painted in gloss white anti-flash paint to prevent damage caused by the detonation of its own bomb. Probably, not much need for that in most active conflicts since the late 60s.
