On a very few photos one may see a demarkation line on the upper paint job, but I believe those are the early four-colour camo overpainted in large areas by a new coat of dark paint, possibly green.

Therefore, I am also still waiting for the ultimate proof for the RLM 70/71 camouflage scheme being worn by any Hs 123.

Agreed. I believe much confusion has been caused by the shadow cast by the upper wing. Of course the shadow appears darker on the fuselage.

I too would like to see substantial evidence.
