I'm dubios about including the swastica in my default model or releasing a censored plane with a free uncensored replacement.

You might find
this thread about Luftwaffe losses during PQ17 operations interesting.
Seven He-115 from 1./KüFlGr 406 took part in this operation, the crew of a damaged He-115 was rescued by a pilot from the same unit, flying a He-115 with ID code K6+IH
Other units involved were LG 1, KG 26, KG 30 and KG 40
The Ju88 on your pictures has 1H+FL as code = 3./KG 26. If I'm not mistaken in 1942 I./KG 26 flew the Heinkel H-6 and not the Ju88a. There is a wellknown photo of Ju88a4-Torp or Ju88a-17 coded 1H+FL, but it was taken in 1945
Luftwaffe units involved in maritime operations painted their aircraft in RLM 65, RLM 72, RLM 73 scheme, see attached image taken from "Sea Eagles 2 - Luftwaffe Anti-Shipping Units 1942-45 (Luftwaffe Colours)"
