My first guess would be a
Nachtschlacht or Störkampf unit.
I know these operated individual Hs 126 aircraft.
The code ?E+GI could be 4E+GI, which hints towards Aufkl.Gr.13, a unit which operated several aircraft of the type. Last letter I would indicate 20. Staffel... a Staffel number never used by the unit afaik.
5E+GI would indicate Aufkl.Gr.14, another unit with no 20. Staffel.
1E was used as far as is known by Erg.(S) Gr.1 and Erg.Staffel/ZG 1, noen of these are likely.
2E was Stab KG 54, used as far as is known only with Staffel letter A. (2E+?A).
3E was KG 6. Not likely.
6E, 7E, 8E and 9E are not known (at least not to Barry C. Rosch at the time he wrote his 'Codes and Markings').
If You are able to produce a better scan of the photo we could maybe rule out some of the above.
Regards,
Andreas
