Hi Hans, Peter, Paul, Remi (all);

Have you checked code could be VB+UP (6821) ? Anyway the VB+Ua block, possibly only the latter part have nummerical order (after VB+UF or VB+UO) but those before possibly ´random´ issues (i.e. VB+UB was 6791) or with many civil examples ´in between´.

Anyway I see code possibilities then as (photo taken 28.06.40): VB+UF (6811?) or VB+UP (6821) - not VB+OF (stated He 45) and VB+OP (stated Fw 58) - although I see this one most possibly as VB+OP ...

I think version is possibly g4e or later. But I am no expert on Ju 52/3m designation but here is what I found somewhere years ago (source unk).
