Gary,
the SS-Standartenführer is the later SS-Oberführer Otto Baum, the final commander of the 16.SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Reichsführer-SS".
The final photograph is of PLM winner Gerneral der Flieger Friedrich Christiansen in the uniform of the Korpsführer of the NSFK.
The Luftwaffe Oberstleutnant looks like Werner Mölders.

Hi Gary,
The signature of Otto Baum is original, I've several letters and postcards signed by him so I can tell you for sure. Regarding the collartab, up to the rank of SS-Obersturmbannführer the SS runes were used on the right collartab, from SS-Standartenführer and above one identical oakleve tab were used on both sides.

Sorry for the late reply on this post but I don't think that the tail of the plane in the photo is Werner Molders.Have a look at
http://www.clubi.ie/Jonesy/pics/victory.jpg
to see his 53rd and 55th victories being painted onto the tail of his plane.Both photos came from the album of a mechanic who was in JG 51 and the album contains many other shots of Molders.
