I need to know which camo colors JaPo used for this 109K at their second book - are they RLM75/83/76 or 81/83/76?
I just looked quickly through JaPo's Bf 109K — camouflage & markings and I couldn't spot the aircraft you are interested in, only other machines from III./JG 27. Do you have a page reference? In JaPo's original Bf 109 K book it was profiled as blue 7 with uppersurface camouflage of 81 and 83.

But why are you so worried about someone else's opinion? They were interpreting a monochrome photo, just as you could do, and it is an uncertain process. The saying "your guess is as good as mine" is especially true when it comes to things like this.
