How do we know the Fw 190 belonged to III./SG 10?

Yellow nose band is specific from Luftflotte4 late war markings

And the only Fw 190 units under Luftflotte4 commands at this time were I./SG 2 and the Stab/I./II./III./ SG 10

...by Tessin that this must be III./SG 10. SG 4 and SG 77 were under LuftFl 6 at this time. According to Tessin, III./SG 10 was located at "Papa". Is that in what was Czechoslovakia?

Strangely, this WNr is listed as an A-9 by Rodieke and confirmed by loss lists.

Pápa airfield is in Hungary. Axis units based on this airfield were most probably part of Luftflotte 4.

This appears to be an Fw 190 A-9 (note the underwing Morane mast). Did the SG units in the area operate A-8s and A-9s?

Yes SG units operated sometimes A version of FW190 .

For example surrender of somes machines of SG2 in Kitzingen on May 8th 1945 , there were a FW190A-6 , and a FW190A-8 .
