IMHO it is not the RM+HM. The marking could be used if the Ju-88 was a prototype or the factory brand new plane sent to a unit. In the case all letters of the code should be of the black. But in the pic we may notice that the "H" letter is of the red paint rather. It indicates an aircraft being alredy in service in an operational unit and the two first unit code signs should consist of the digit and letter but not two letters. I think that the code is 8M+HM or what is more likely 6M+HM what indicates the Ju-88D of the 4. (F)/Aufkl.Gr. 11 although the individual "H" letter should have been of the white for the staffel following the RLM rules.

I believe the complete STKZ for this aircraft is DE+KP (Ju88-Griehl p.34) and the W.Nr. 1092. The book has these photos and one more of the ski test a/c.
