Peter,
If you have copies of any loss lists, I would be most interested to see them posted, as that would update all our knowledge.

As far as photos of Bf 110 G-2s in 1944 go, check out my 'Zerstörer, volume 2' by Classic, pages 174 onwards, to see various photos of late-war Bf 110 G-2s with the different unit codes.

Also, page 105 of 'Sting of the Luftwaffe' shows two photos that have been incorrectly ascribed to ZG 76 over the years. Since publication I received the name of the tall officer in the top photo (II./ZG 1), but it's away in the Archive with the rest of my stuff now.
