I've been working on a 109E4 profile of a II/JG54 bird based on the included photo. Problem is I'm not sure when this image was taken. I have not come across any other photos of II/JG54 Emils in this scheme. There were many F models using it in the summer of 41 but they also had the yellow fuselage band behind the fuselage insignia. There doesn't appear to be any yellow on this Emil.
Throw in that it has armor added to an early style windscreen and it makes me wonder when the photo possibly could have been taken.
I have JG54 a Photographic History of the Grunherzjager by Held, Trautloft and Bob, but there are no images like this one in there.
This image came from The Fighting 109 by Feist, Harms and Dario. The caption doesn't help with the ID.
SO, on the off chance the 109 experts here might be able to help?
