All
I agree about the connection with JG27.
If the signature 8th down on the right is Hptm. Lass then this photo was taken for the event of his promotion to Hptm. And transfer to Stab JaFu Norwegian on 7 May 43.
The following is my best guess on the signatures and how they fit in with what I’ve got.
R1. ????
R2. ????
R3. Ofw. Alfred Heidel - prev Fw. 4./JG27 WIA 7 Nov 42 – next Ofw. 4./JG27 MIA 26 Dec 44
R4. ????
R5. Ofw. Karl Mentnich – prev Ofw. 3./JG27 claim 2 Nov 42 – next Ofw. 4./JG27 claim 11 Jan 44
R6. Ltn. Karl-Heinz Bendert – known instructor 2/JGr Sud 3 Nov 42 to 7 Jul 43
R7. Fw. Gerhard Keppler – prev Fw. 1./JG27 claim 1 Nov 42 – next Ltn. 2./JG27 claim 1 Oct 43 (known see DB601E comment)
R8. Hptm. Hans Lass – known Oblt. Stflkptn 2./JGr Sud Jun 42 to 7 May 43 (promoted Hptm & posted to JaFu Norwegian)
R9. ????

L1. Ofw. Hans Scheibe – prev Fw. 7./JG27 claim 21 Aug 41 – fate ??
L2. Ofw. Artur Liebhold – prev Fw. 8./JG27 claim 5 Sep 42 – fate ??
L3. Ltn. Arthur Schacht – prev Ltn. 4./JG27 claim 30 Oct 41 – fate ??

Maybe DB601E can check the database to check if these pilots served in JGr Sud
