Another photo exists of Black 15, it's in Mombeeks second volume on JG4 and the photo is taken just as the aircraft is being blown up. The WNr. is hard to distinguish in that photo but given the details in these photos it's likely to be an Erla built aircraft.

Anders,
Thanks for the precision concerning the yellow contour for the tactical markings within this Staffel and thanks for your IDeing of that second pic! Eagle Eye! . As for this being an Erla bird, I'm no that sure: it could rather be a WNF built machine, which would explain all the camouflage and Balkenkreuz details we can see. As for the subtype, well, no positive proof is to be ascertained as the first number of the W.Nr. can't be made out...
IMHO, the camouflage elements do speak out for a WNF G-10 though, but not from Diana Tisnow WNF.
A pity that the three quarter rear view of that plane is not in higher resolution: the W.Nr. is to be seen above the rudder tab actuation bar....
Cheers from Amman;-))
