Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Here is the "Black 7" ! (sic)
https://me109.info/display.php?a=e&l=en&fid=4613
The same machine Black 7/Gelbe 11 is pictured page 69 of "Bf109G-10_U4 - Production & Operational. JaPo", left side, and, as expected, the Yellow 11 isn't visible, while:
"A dark blotch covering the original markings merged with the first digit of the new marking and gave an impression of a dark number 7" (sic)
Right, but why writing "original marking" and "new marking" ?
And why the same "Dark blotch" is visible on right side with same "7"appearance?
Then the killer sentence (as usual !):
"A closer examination" !!!! Meaning: You don't see it because we print the thing on a B...t paper but WE see it - using the-closer-look instrument - on original, indeed.
...
Soooo, we got TWO "7" dark blotch, we can suppose the "original marking" was a Black 7 and the "new marking" a "Gelbe 11".
...
This said,
- Note the guys cleaned the exhaust stains before taking the picture (on right side) giving it a fake appearance.
-"Gelbe 11" isn't supposed to be 7.Staffel but 6. Staffel in II./JG52 as discussed before and elsewhere ...
Cheers,
Thanks for the links Marc.
