Seeking ID of this Ju88 that FL during the WC or BoB

Hello,

About 40 years ago I acquired this photo from the old USAF Collection in Washington D.C., so it probably now is in the BA Collection. It shows a FL Ju88A from KG51, apparently badly damaged by flak, very likely in Germany or German-controlled territory in France. This is probably either WC (FC) or a BoB period photo. For years I thought that this was 9K+HM that FL in France on June 5, 1940. However, now that I've acquired better photos of that FL, it is obviously a different incident. This is the one in my immediate previous post with the small inscription on the nose "R8044/88." It also has the forward half of the prop hubs painted white or yellow, probably indicative of either I or II Gruppe.

Can anyone help?

Regards,
