. With armoured head protection, most probably one who did prefer old style hood;
During the Sch.G 1 ceremony pictured at Werl many E-7s displayed that hood.
The "White F" coming from 4.(S)/LG 2; position well back on fuselage is not surprising.
Black Triangle being painted behind the cross when the unit transformed on one of Sch.G 1.
Number being overpainted on former triangle position. This is my theory ...
Note the long style bomb rack under fuselage; and, last, it seems to me that the panzer emblem is under the canopy at its due place.
I recognise those Schlacht Bf 109s are always problematic; at least for me.
Concerning the emblem? Well, humm.. won't bet nothing.
