mystery fw-190

Does anyone know for sure who this Fw-190 belonged to? The photo is from the Kagero Monograph Fw190 book vol 2. I've not seen this picture before and they list the aircraft as belonging to Jg-6. I read somewhere that John Manhro didn't think that was the case but I wonder if anyone knew for sure?
If it wasn't jg-6 then my best guess would be jg-300 judging by the tonal value of the tail bands, they seem too light to be Jg-4 but if it is indeed a Jg-300 machine then I'm surprised it's not in eagle editions Jg-300 volume 2 as they seem to have everything related to the unit pretty well covered.
I suppose a far out possibility is that it could be a Jg-51 aircraft with the never seen before green\white\green bands. Although I'm not sure they were even flying 190s other than doras at the end of the war.
Incidentally I wonder if John has any particular reason to doubt the aircraft is a Jg-6 machine, considering the amount of research he's put into the unit I expect there is a good reason to say it's probably not.
Anyway, thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
