Seeking ID of photo of FL Ju88A of 1.(F)/122 probably during Blitz in the winter of 1940/1

Hello,

I'm trying to ID this FL Ju88A of 1.(F)/122, which apparently belly landed sometime during the winter of 1940/41, probably during the Blitz. I can find no good candidate for this loss in the EOE Luft loss DB up to the end of 1940. Note the unit insignia on the nose, which I think is relatively rare in photography. The dating is based upon the crewman in the photo being in a life jacket, and several others dressed for colder weather. This could also be much later in the east, although I don't know how consistent that would be with a crewman wearing a life jacket. Does anyone have any info that would allow me to more precisely date this photo, and possibly other views of it that would allow an a/c code to be determined?

Thanx,
