it lacks the yellow (sic!) American stars beside the red/white/red flag.

BTW, the spinner spiral was red/yellow. Several years ago, AeroMaster offered decals for this plane - but I guess they're out of print.
Do you know if the lower cowling was yellow? And could the spinner spiral pattern also be red/white?

Here is a clear picture from black 10 of 8./JG 1 (image from messerschmitt-bf109.de):
