What are you talking about ?
No tactical markings doesn't mean that can have a possible "match" with these "Winkel 2 + - " and "Winkel 2 - + - " ...
Among those "10" we have:
one 6./JG53
one II./JG51
one 2.JG77 ... with a JL marking, not a code but a marking
Left Ausgebrannt and Schrott machines with no indications
...
Left the machine we are talking about have a well readable marking .
...
And you are making a very short cut between "Bizerte" and "On the road between Tunis and Bizerte" !
And it's not exactly the same meaning
...
You don't know the road this caption does indicate, you don't know if the actual possible roads did exist during 1943 and you don't know which one they took between Tunis and Bizerte.
...
"Between Tunis & Bizerte" doesn't mean Bizerte and on the road between them you can find La Marsa, Mateur, Chaouat, Jedeida, Karouba, Cebalat (La Sebala) ... and so on.
All fields where machines have been found - with or without code.

Last, one "Winkel" of II./JG53 have been found at La Marsa and it's the only one we have in the list... and it happens, TWO have been pictured at the same place and one of them was 18031.
And yes, one, <2-+-, is not in the list .. but on pictures.

So, La Marsa.

Cheers!
