Steve, The Stkz. block breaks are often difficult to verify. So I never say or never comment. Answer may be wrong. Question can be wrong.
Have edited 3095 as BL+NA/+NF. but thats just my version. Others can have theirs. Who will be judge?

Many versions oft "popular" Stkz. blocks exist, and often typos skew the picture. As rule of thumb, I begin at "Z" (meaning last individual letter) and do actual list-count backwards and/or forward, untill hit by "known" (rather than begin at A, because of a little apparent fact, blocks issue often seem have started at A - some individual or unknown random firsts can have landed (already) elsewhere -except if proven next block starts before reachung Z, then I end next to that, logically - but I actually list every plane with W.Nr., with plain text info from GQM, other, found etc, and then (first) list Stkz., fact or interpolated.

Rather than registering just stkz blocks, like some (Wills) does (or I think he does so). I plot actual each and every Ju 88, from 0001 to 9999, and list if Sktz. is actually confirmed by Boldface it, but inside (like default) [XX+NZ] if interpolated. But I long time since have found out where W.Nr. ranges end and were the blanks are. Individual Stkz. or blocks need fit these, not other way around, but I also have some split blocks and not necessisary in correct A-Z order. And in some extraordinary cases, individual letters seem omitted from blocks (may have landed elsewhere as singular). In one case W.Nrs seem have been assigned, Stkz assigned, but then range running over (splitting new block) at later date. But also Stkz. blocks jump over blanks! But having rules and follow certain lines, I manage. But as ever, 1939 Stkz and regs often are nowhere to be found, except odd logs.
