It says returned after 46 victory. If that is correct we know the date.
 
IMHO the required pic is one of a couple ones taken in October 1940. Here is the another one.

Wick's 5344 carried the Double chevron up to his 44th Victory achieved on 29/10.40 , 5th Nov victories 45,46,47 his aircraft carried Kommodore Markings Chevron and Bars. Without seeing the victory tally it's hard to nail the date of the photo from the earlier post.
For sure, the photo(s) are definitely not after 28 Nov '40. The writing on the back is wrong on the date and I guess the comment about "after 46th Victory" would be unreliable as well.
I presume that this can be tied down more accurately by someone?

You can see the fuel pipe is connected to the refuel valve on the aircraft upper fuselage. Also, the fuel is being pumped by hand and using a double action pump from the drums in the truck. Not easy or quick, just about 0.5l per pump stroke and a full refuel was 400l.

Found a typical ober fuel meister. In colour.
