I posted this earlier today over at LEMB. Peter adviced that perhaps John Vasco over here could have an answer:
Bf 110 Skull and bones nose marking, allegedly used by III./ZG76, which I found at eBay:

Not very common with photos of this emblem/marking, I understand. Pictures of Bf 110 aircraft with this marking seem to come mainly from 1/ErZgr based at Vaerlöse in Denmark. I found some pictures in:
"Luftwaffe im Focus Ed.4/2004", page 22-23 - here is a photo No 27 which seems to show this very same aircraft from starboard front side.
"Die Deutsche Luftwaffe. Eine Bilddokumentation der Luftwaffe von 1935-1945, Zerstörer und Nachtjagdverbände Teil 1" by Meyer and Stipdonk, page 13.
"Jet & Prop Archive No.4", photo 69 - very small part of aircraft seen in the background.
According to Luftwaffe im Focus the first picture with this marking was published in 1976 and Karl Ries’ book “Photo Collection Luftwaffe Emblem 1935-1945”.
1. Does any one know of other photos? None of the published so far seems to show unit codes or other markings.
2. What evidence confirms that this marking was initially used by III./ZG76?
