Placement of Eastern Front ID "yellow V" on Bf 109?

AFAIK, the "V" was to consist of 15cm wide bands forming a 45 degree angle, with the point on the lower surface, opening in the direction of flight and overlap the leading edge by 60cm. But where on the (left) wing was it to be placed on Bf109s? Were there instructions for placement or was it a free for all?

You’ll find the instructions here but they don’t specify placement: http://www.ghostbombers.com/markings...vmarkings.html
On a Bf 109 if you were going to avoid the wheel wells and the Balkenkreuze then your options were fairly limited, i'd imagine.
