That's right, as far as I can tell - he picked up his father's Tiger motif and used this variation. Looking at photos, it appears as though only 2 aircraft originally carried this tiger's head in 1942 - 49 and 96. This 1943 aircraft may be a third, or may be one of the earlier ones with the current markings.
