Seeking info on Walter Borchers' Bf110 in the Battle of Britain

I'm trying to determine markings of any Bf110s flown by Ltn. Walter Borchers (later a night fighter Experte) in the Battle of Britain. This is part of a modelling project (with some research into Battle of Britain Bf110 aces who went on to become night fighter Experte for personal interest).

I do have one clue to go off. On eBay here there was a photo of a Bf110 coded ??+FM. Unfortunately the photo appears to have been removed and I haven't seen it.

It has been suggested on this forum that this aircraft may be M8+FM and flown by Borchers as the fin displayed 10 victory markings, although apparently there were no shark’s mouth markings (normally standard on 4./ZG76 aircraft). However, I given the lack of unit markings mentioned, I think the same criteria (ten victory tabs and the “??+FM” code) could equally apply to Rolf Kaldrack of 4./ZG1.

Any thoughts? And does anyone have a photo of Borchers' aircraft during the Battle of Britain? (This may be a tall order but you never know!).

Thanks in advance!

Matt
