Sorry, can someone correct me here but I believed that this emblem belonged to Westa 76 not 26. Westa 26's emblem was an Owl.

Selinger and Kington page 149 shows Westa 76's emblem - "a winged frog emerging from a cloud on an ovate azure background"

The same emblem in both versions of ketley's "Luftwaffe Emblems" which is attributed to Westa 76.

However, Westa 26 (ost) was formed from WeFlugSta 464 on 15 June 1944 at Thorn. (see Wekusta by Selinger and Kington p134) and was to be operational under Luftflotte 6. There are some elements of Westa 76/3 and 76/2 in the mix here as well as they provided interim weather recce cover for Luftflotte 6 and may have been a source of aircraft and crews for the new unit as well.
