Hi mmoustaf,
I post two photos: on the left plane 3 (source Jagdwaffe Vol4 sect1), on the right plane 4 (E-bay auction): I suspect these were two different planes as the mottling around the canopy doesn’t seem the same.
Any way regarding plane 3 you are right , Mickey mouse was painted later just before the ceremony as there are photos of Plane 3 without the emblem.
