Need code and photo of unit emblem used on Hs126Bs of 2.(H)/23 during the WC of 1940

Hello,

We've just identified for the EoE Project the first wreckage of an Hs126 from 2.(H)/23 that crashed not far from the Agincourt battlefield in France on 22 May 1940. Since it is just a pile of wreckage and a field grave for the dead observer we can't see any unit emblem (known from the latest Barry Ketley book) or the a/c codes. Neither my reference books nor the unit references on the internet provide the code used by this unit. Does anyone know what that would have been? Does anyone have a photo of the insignia that would have been used on this a/c during the WC? Ketley shows it as a shield with an oak leaf above two rank wings.

Does anyone have any photography of a/c used by that unit during 1939-40, either crashes or intact?

Who can help as we're going to have trouble with this unit for profils due to the lack of photos for subjects.

Regards,
