When I look at this photograph it strikes me that instead of a two colour chequer pattern, as in red / black (or blue), it consists of a single dark colour, the second chequer actually being made up by the paint of the a/c.
This is especially clear at the deviding line between the top and bottom camouflage, the line crossing a "chequer". Now I haven't been looking at Luftwaffe camouflage for a while now, but this is the first time I really take notice of this type of chequer. If I am right, I find it even more interesting!! The color doesn't look as strong as the Swastika (no guarantee but), doesn't look like black, could even be red.
