2./KG66 Ju188E-1 crash, Exbury April 18 1944

I'm trying to find information on the plane, Z6+EK, Wrk Nr 260523, involved in the above with respect to its finish for modelling purposes. The book "The Exbury Junkers" is the result of research into this event, which involved this plane overflying the Solent & being shot down as a result of massive navigation error/malfunction, when it was supposed to be on a relocation flight to Holland prior to participating in an Operation Steinbok raid. There is an Aims decal sheet which shows a plane of this unit in early 1944, therefore similar time period, which shows it having RLM70 blotches over RLM76 topsides with black undersides. The only unit & individual codes were carried in small letters on the fin with no Wrk Nr showing. My main query is, would this be reasonable finish for all planes at this time & were these units consistent with their finishes from one plane to another at this time?
Steve.
