When did 2.(H)/AufklGr13 fly the Do17P?

Hello,

Have just acquired two photos for the EOE Photo DB of what looks like Do17Ps with the insignia of 2.(H)/13 on the starboard nose (2 diff a/c). This is emblem #546 in Ketley & Rolfe (a blue shield on which appears a cartoon owl holding a magnifying glass and a telescope). However, when I consult Ulf Balke's "Luftkrieg im Europa" Vol I for the Luftwaffe Order of Battle for the PC, WC and BoB, that unit was entirely equipped with the Hs126 from 1.9.39 through mid-Aug, 1940. During what period was this unit equipped with the Do17, and when did it convert to the Hs126? Could these photos be in the East in 1941?

This is apparently a fairly rarely illustrated insignia as I don't recall having seen it before.

Regards,
