What's the story in Balamory, or in this case Lüneburg?

What would these flags mean, countries that they've flown over, or where they've had bases?

Wilhelm Herget 7./NJG 3, in Lüneburg, Germany, 1942....

....another machine, somewhere else.

It was my understanding that they were the countries they defeated so far...

John Weal's book mentions...some crew of II./ZG76 took to painting the flags of the nations they had fought against (or had been based in) below the cockpit of their aircraft.

The one on the lower right (2nd pic) looks like a Swedish flag. #6 is the Iraqi flag. Perhaps countries they had flown over?

#3 I cannot make out. It almost looks like Norway but it looks like there is are diagonals on it.

Here is another shot of the Bf 110C of the 7.NJG3 (D5+ER) Wilhelm Herget Luneburg 1942

I noticed the flag that looks Swedish, too.

In the color profile that Wojtek posted, they have it portrayed as the flag of Denmark, but in the photo, the horizontal and verticle bars are evenly spaced and they are clearly not white.
