Hi Don and Franck,
#1 is IMO Stab I.JG1 with Jesau Kreuz (white background) visible. I have seen this plane, standing faultless, ready for combat take off on an airfield where you can see leafless trees in the background, early spring 1940. By this time I.JG1 was still an independent Gruppe under the command of JG 27. Only in early July 1940 I.JG1 was renamed III.JG27 and became part of JG27, still using the unconventinal location of Staffelnumbers and chevrons far in front of the engine cowlings.
Cheers
Horst
