Christian: while A3+18 of 11./KG 200 did have a stencilled code, III./KG 200 only ever reported Fw 190 F-8s on strength.
The marking is also consistent with an aircraft of I./SKG 10 depicted in Frappé's "La Luftwaffe face au Débarquement Alliée." I./SKG 10 became III./KG 51 in June 1944 and NSG 20 in November. That unit operated G-3s and F-8s.
NSG 20 and 11./KG 200 shared a base in early 1945, so they may also have shared a stencil.
