Unit code U4+-K

The remains of a Ju 88A-1 W.Nr. 0119 is in the custody of the Aircraft Collection (museum) at Gardermoen Norway. The aircraft carries the unit code U4+TK. It is said that the aircraft began service in an Ergänzungsgruppe and ended up in K.G.30 just before the attack on Norway on 9. April 1940.
The plane was damaged by enemy fire on 18. April 1940 and further damaged during landing in slush on the frozen lake Jonsvannet near Trondheim the same day. On 25. April the plane was attacked by Skuas and set on fire. It later sank. Can someone help with the correct unit designation U4+. It was not given the usual K.G. 30 unit code 4D+.
