You are perfectly right Nick, In "Hungarian Eagles - from Hikoki Publication" Georges Punka just say the Fliegerkorps IV order for yellow nose band + yellow rudder superdeded the previous order for all airplanes flying over Hungary to have a yellow chevron under the wing + yellow fuselage band.

Anyway if we look to April 9th, 1945, Luftflotte4 order of Battle, near all his single engine units are known for sure to used the yellow nose band:
- NAGr.14 > yes > Barry Rosch p134 and monogram close up Bf 109G part2
- SG 10 > yes > J.Manrho "Bodenplatte" p46 show Hptm H.Stollnberger in front a yellow nosed Fw 190 after his transfert to 8./SG10
- I./SG2 > very probably yes but it's impossible to make the difference with I./SG10
- NSGr.5 > to find
- 2./NSGr.10 > yes > Barry Rosch p77
- Stab/JG76 > to find (will be hard only very few airplanes)
- II./JG51 > to find (will be also hard to find since disbanded on April 12th)
- II./JG52 > Yes > very well known
- I./JG53 > Yes > JG53 Vol III from G.Prien
- Ung.SGr > Yes > Hungarian Eagles (text only ) - (cant yet remember where i saw a photo)
- Ung.JG1 > Yes > Hungarian Eagles, Denes web site...
- Kroatish Bf 109 > Yes > Sq signal publication

On the other way the only none Luftflotte 4 airplane i know with both yellow nose band and yellow rudder is a Bf 109 white9 (Sq Signal pub) claimed to be from JG 11 since a yellow fuselage band is also visible. But since this yellow fuselage band was previous Luftflotte4 markings you perfectly understood that it's very difficult to know if this aircraft is from JG11 or not. (Many yellow nosed airplanes continue to show their previous underwing chevron marking, but i agree the yellow fuselage was usualy overpainted)
Could someone with Prien's book 'Jagdgeschwader 1 und 11, Teil 3, 1944-1945' tell us if there any other JG11 Bf 109 showing a yellow nose band with yellow rudder?

And did any of you know any other proof from a non Luftflotte4 unit using the yellow nose ring + yellow rudder?
