Re: 3./JG 54 loss summer 1941

For comparison purposes I herewith attach a photo of the "White outline 1" of 2./JG 54 from an expired eBay auction. I also thought that 2./JG 54 changed the appearance of its numerals at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, as witnessed on Oblt. Reinhardt Hein's "Black 1" lost on 6 August 1941 (source: Jagdwaffe series of books, Volume 3.2 Operation Barbarossa, page 146). Perhaps in this particular case we are talking about the evolution of the numeral style with 3./JG 54?
