Black 9 and 13 2JG3 Colombert profile and Tatzelwurm colour queries ?

Hi,
I have maybe two profiles for the same aircraft differing on mottle style, tatzelwurm colour and spinner colours, also placement of 87 octane triangle, certainly the lower is as in the BW pic, but is the upper supposed to be this aircraft and if not which pic is it referring to as I have no other black 9 in my JG3 photo collection so far.
source of upper is:-
https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Bf-109E/...ct-1940-0A.jpg



Another anomaly is black 13 where Classic Pub's series has red tatz with red spiral whilst the renowned Richard Caruana has green with yellow spiral. Which one is correct ? see below.



Having seen red white yellow and green tatzelwurms what is the staffel colouring/allocation for them ?

Also 2 staffel are red or black filled numbers but does the Tatzelwurm colour follow the colour fill of such ?

1JG3:-
White 6 Schnabel 1JG3 is white tazel in profiles.

2JG3:-
Black 11 2JG3 2JG3 (no profile) looks red or green.
Red 1 2JG3 white or yellow Tatzelwurm (video extract). (not the dark colour tatzel)
Red 3 2JG3 red Tatzel (profile)
Red 4 2JG3 red tatzel. (profile)
Black 6 2JG3 Ehlers or Keller(another discussion)Red orGreen tatz.(profiles)
Black 9 2JG3 red or maybe green (discussion here)
Black 13 2JG3 (18aug40) straw over a/c, Red or Green (discussion here)
Black 8 2JG3 (29aug40) Red Tatzel. (profile)
Red 10 2JG3 force landed France Red or Green Tatzelwurm (photo)

3JG3:-
Yellow 4 3JG3 Rau 31aug40 Yellow Tatz. (profile)
Yellow 9 3JG3 Lutzow Yellow or white tatz.(pic)
Yellow 2 3JG3 Yellow or white tatz.(pic)
Yellow 7 3JG3 Grabow 5sep40 White (profile) tatz.
Yellow 9 3JG3 (same pic as Yell 2) appears yellow tatz (but maybe white)

so when is green or red used and when is yellow or white used ?

Cheers
BOBC
