Luftwaffe unit code 9N

Hello

The question that puzzels me, is this: what unit had unit code 9N ???

From a picture, taken at 29th June 1943 during the simultaneous Knight Cross ceremony of H.D. Frank and W. Herget in Venlo, in the background a Siebel Fh 104 aircraft is visible with fuselage code 9N+AA (see enclosed detail).

Source BA Freiburg, RL 25/80 shows no Fh 104's at any of the Flugbereitschaften of units and higher headquarters in the Netherlands (like XII. Fliegerkorps or Jagddivision). As I don't have Rosch Luftwaffe Markings etc. I checked several other publications. So far only Meyer/Stipdonk made a reference that an unknown unit with '9N' had a Fi156 and Bf110 at its disposal. With this Fh104 that makes 3 different types of aircraft.
