Profile of 'Red 11' - 12.JG54

I have a question around this profile.

I've just purchased Volume II of this book and have the 'Red 11' profile sheet. I'm no expert, but it's my understanding that 12.JG54 was a component staffel of III Gruppe. Didn't this gruppe become IV/JG26 in February 1945, with 12 staffel renumbered to 16.JG26? I understand a new III/JG54 was raised for service on the Eastern Front, but never flew the D9 model?
Am I correct in thinking this profile of 'Red 11' should more properly be labelled as belonging to 16.JG26, as I believe Eelde airfield is in the West?

Thanks for your time
