Seeking photos and code confirmations for He111 down during the WC

Hello,

This photo recently sold on eBay with notes about location and date.

According to the EoE LW Loss Listing based upon this information, this may well be:

"14 May 1940 Western Front Amend: 2./KG27 Heinkel He111P-2. Engaged by No.85 and No.87 Squadron Hurricanes over Tienen and belly-landed at ‘Campagne du Tierse’ west of Vissoul, between Lamontzée and Ville-en-Hesbaye, (Belgium) 9.30 a.m. BM Fw Rudolf Kleff killed, FF Fw Wilhelm Lütje and BF Obergefr Gregor Wulf both slightly wounded, BO Lt Joachim Müller believed unhurt. Aircraft 1G+EK 100% write-off."

In checking our own and other cooperating photo sources, we've not found other photos of this one, which may show a full code, and possibly any unit insignia. Has anyone other photos of this a/c or information that confirms this identification?
