Information on KG 77 crew in photo

[edNorth]

Three Ju 88 series number ranges possible with ending "1027", two with that tail configuration. One A-4 "1027 w/o 1942 with 3./KG 76 but not known if real 141027 - I think it possibly was not, as this (later fin/rudder a/c) appears still going strong in 1942/1943 period. Complicating things, one Ju 88 C-6 also was 751027, known with NJG 101 1944. Note no antenna visible under fuselage, and extra "darkness/shine" of camo (new repaint?)

I fail see connection if photos really relate to each other, except MTO band, and it appears many units used tactical numbers on rudders/tail (also KG 1 and LG 1), not just "training units" - these too, but often on engines and smaller size. Letters A to Z also known (Ju 188).
