I will drop you an email so you can sedn the photos privately.
Concerning JG2 colours, generally colours are not listed in their returns. Based on the list of losses following colours may be attributed to particular Staffeln: Blue - 4., 8., 12.; White - 5. or 7.; Yellow - 6. or 7., 11.; Black - 6., 10.
I understand the colour order was White, Black, Yellow and Blue (Anybody can confirm?) so no red there.
Interestingly I have found an aircraft WNr 172699 of Stab JG3 listed having Red 21 code. Pilot, Ofhr. Siegfried Clement was killed when the aircraft was downed on 24 July. There is also Fw 190A-8 WNr 680848 Red 20 missing on 11 August but the pilot, Uffz. Harry Wald reputedly later returned to his unit. Fw 190A-8 WNr 172669 Red 20 was found pillaged at Nogent-le-Roi when the Allied units advanced.
Another unit that had red codes was 2./SKG10 but I have not found any fitting loss.
