Airplane by airplane would be a nightmare. Regulations are minimums, manufacturers are free and open to do all sorts of things outside of those minimums.
As you can see when this Q400 lines up for takeoff, their "white strobes" aren't even on the wingtips like most airliners, they're on the fuselage and the tail, and there's no red flashing lights (you can see it in the beginning, it's only on the top of the fuselage and turns off when the white strobes turn on).
And don't even get me started on small general aviation aircraft -- that shit's basically like your neighborhood kid and his Honda Civic, you're only limited by what aftermarket products are FAA-approved.
This dude's got LED landing lights in his wingtips (normal Cessnas don't have that) and an LED strobe system installed on his Cessna.
Or you just register your aircraft as experimental and do whatever you want (above the minimums like position lights, etc.).
This dude's got flashing lights up the wazoo, pointing forward and down, and he's got a 737 landing light installed on the roof, facing backwards.
I could go on but I'll stop there. "Normal plane lights" (or "FAA lights" as if no one but the FAA has aircraft lighting standards) is a very generalized level of public knowledge that falls very short when actually trying to spot an aircraft.
