To be honest I'm not sure about that. It seems that the plane was based at Primorsky region and was used with a Far East regiment. It is possible the plane was photographed near Vladivostok in 1943 and could have belonged to the 6th IAP of 7 IAD of the Pacific Fleet. The pic might have been taken on Uglovoye airfield ( not too far from Vladivostock) on August 18, 1943. The another info says the Mig-3 was of the 39th IAP (Unashi airbase) TOF. Unashi - Golden Valley, it is Primorsky region as well.

I updated my original post, it was supposed to read, "....early version". Thanks for the info, at least there are some numbers to look for now. I've been through all my MiG-3 specific books and there is nothing close to your photo with regards to that camo scheme
 

I see. And yes it looks like the early version of the MiG-3.
