Question Jabo staffel JG 27

In May of '42, a fourth staffel was added to III. Gruppe of JG 27 specifically to perform bombing missions. Any opinions on possible markings other than the III./JG 27 emblem, white theater markings and yellow on the underside of engine cowl?

I'm thinking quite possibly the individual aircraft number would be in blue to reflect its position of the 4th staffel, maybe outlined in white?

Biggest question is the third gruppe marking in the form of a wavy bar, or perhaps instead would be some kind of bomb stencil?

We know that the jabo unit of JG 53 had worn a bomb motif superimposed over a silhouette of Malta when they were operating over that island earlier. So what are the chances JG 27 did same thing using a silhouette of African continent?
