Possible Staffel or Schwarm insignia on rudders of some 3./KG55 He111Ps during the Polish Campaign?

Hello,

Please see

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160776325019...ht_32374wt_883

This photo album, apparently belonging to an Uffz pilot in 3./KG55, shows two images of He111Ps from the Polish Campaign with a strange, elongated figure in a top hat, evening dress and carrying an umbrella (two versions), which I've seen somewhere else before. Does anyone know if there are other images of this strange figure that are on other He111s of this unit? Since there are two slightly different variations on the same theme, could this be either a Schwarm or incipient Staffel insignia?

Anybody know anything more about this, or have any possible info on who the Uffz pilot is that owned this album? One of these a/c will make a great color profile.

Regards,
