I see a mix of ME-110 and JU-88 in this film.

At 0:40 I see ME-110 flying 4-finger
At 0:46 I see JU-88
At 0:51 I see ME-110 flying 4-finger
At 0:59 I see JU-88
The plane leaving the group, initiating the left turn and the Ground attack is a JU-88 (filmed from a ME-110).

So overall it looks like 4-finger for the ME-110 and group formation for the JU-88

Nice film find! It surprised me to see so much smoke distruption from the ME-110 guns.

it might depend on thier task al already mentioned.
During BoB only 2 Squadrons (1. & 2. ErpGrp 210) flew as groundattack. All the other groups were designated fighters...........................

At the easternfront, the 110 units all flew groundattack (very few exceptions in the far north and in limited nightfighter tasks) - whatever their unit designation was.

Don't get deceived by propaganda videos, they had to look cool, not necessarily represent operative formations.

Truth is that there was a great deal of flexibility, based on type of mission, aircraft available and operative limitations, so giving a unique answer is impossible I'm afraid.
