Bearing this in mind, I then thought of '2F', which was apparently an early coding for II.Gruppe/ KG28 up until September 1939, thereafter becoming II.Gruppe/KG54. This Gruppe continued to use '2F' after its redesignation until March 1940 when it began using the more familiar 'B3' code. The only problem, however, is the point you make about 7.Staffel which, of course, would have been part of III.Gruppe, not II.Gruppe.

A theory:
According to this site there was a III Gruppe KG 28 from february 1st 1940 untill juli 9th 1940. If 2F was KG 28 code it could explain this aircraft being 2F+GR as a 7./KG 28 aircraft in spring 1940.
