Ju-88 recon units in Sicily

In the book Warship 2013 there is a picture of the French battleship Dunkerque taken by a Ju-88 recon aircraft out of Tripoli 19/20 Feb 1942 on passage from Mers el-Kebir to Toulon. This seems a little far for a Tripoli based Ju-88 so I guess it would be from Sicily. I know that Wekusta 26 was based in Sicily at this time and may have taken the photo. Were there any other Ju-88 recon units based in Sicily at this time? if so what were they. Thanks in advance.

Early 1942 the 1.(F)/122 and 2.(F)/122 were based at Sicily.

3.(F)/33 was in Belgium and 2.(F)/123 at Crete.
