The well known photo of Yellow 7 from JG300 probably show the same camo too, only that the engine cowling was replaced causing the effect that there's a dark band around the forward part of the nose, which in reality would have been the remains of a "round the cowling" RLM83 or RLM81 camo.

Veltro: Thanks for the decal theory by the way, that would explain my last problem with my own theory...

I desagree with you, but cordially : At the end of the war the markings applied on JG 300's planes included a black band around the tip of their noses. That xas the same regulation for their Fw such as Fw 190A-8/R8 "schwarze 4 + - of II./JG 300.
