Trying to ID codes for a Do17Z of AufklarStaffel zbV of Luftflotte 2 which crashed in Belgium on 25.5.40

Hello,

I'm trying to properly code several photos of the Do17 of Uffz. Hans Metzger that fatally crashed into a house on Groenstraat in Mouscron, Belgium, on 25.5.40. It clearly has a white or possibly yellow "H," for it's individual code, but the other codes aren't clear. It may have a unit code of 5K, which would mean that it was borrowed from KG3, but this is far from certain. Does anyone know what the ID code of that unit should be? Does anyone have clear enough photos of the wreckage to determine what the full code of the aircraft was? The 4th letter might also be an "H," but this is far from certain. Don't cite the information on the loss in TBoFrT&N, as this is one of the rare errors as to location in that publication.

Thanx
