You will find a clear photo of the emblem of Jabostaffel "Afrika" on p.95 of Karl Ries' Photo Collection Luftwaffe Embleme 1935-1945 (Verlag Dieter Hoffmann, 1976). The caption reads: This unit's emblem on the white fuselage band of a Bf 109G-6/R1 Trop. The fuselage Balkenkreuz on this W.Nr. 7157 is just indicated by white chevrons painted on the 79 camouflage.
