Seeking ID of airfield in these two eBay photos circa June-July 1940

Hello,

We've completed a total of nine a/c profiles and inserts for the a/c of Hptm Wilhelm Balthasar during his 1939-40 career for the EoE Project. I'm trying to determine when the light 02 mottle was added to his Bf109E W.Nr. 1559, which he was flying at the time that he was awarded the RK on 14 June 1940 (no mottle at that time).

Two new eBay photos may shed light on this, if I can ID where they were taken. They might have been at Nevers, Rommilly-sur-Seine, Plemetot, Carquebut, Théville or Cherbourg AF where the unit as 1./JG1 (renamed 7./JG27) was based during the period late-June to early July 1940.

A hanger and operations building with the name "Sabina" (Belgian Airlines) are visible in these photos. Who can help me ID the location of these photos, which might help me determine a pretty accurate date for them? Of course, these could have been taken at some other airfield than those listed above where he refueled or visited before he transferred out of the unit in early July, 1940, by which time we know his a/c carried this mottling.

Who can help?
