Winter Camouflage of 5./KG 30 Junkers Ju 88 1941-42?

Hi all

I have read that factory-applied winter camouflage was occasionally used by the Germans on their aircraft but I think most images we see show locally applied whitewash over standard camouflage. I think the attached image is relatively uncommon in that this seems to me to clearly be factory applied winter camouflage on this Junkers Ju 88. The damage inflicted by the Flak burst reveals no hint of green paint at all.

I assume this is probably north Norway 1941-42. Does that make sense?
