I'd recommend to not use the de-rated A-4 for the Eastern front at all, the Fw got there rather late and by that time the BMW 801D wasn't de-rated any more. It is still possible that some units would have restrictions in place, for instance for new engines or simply to reduce wear and tear. Since the A-4 was used almost to the wars end, the fully rated version would still have a place on the Eastern front.
Not sure about Africa and MTO. |

Yes, but not only. Both III./ZG2 (later re-designated iIII./SKG10) and II./JG2 also had A-3s and A-4s on strength, and possibily also some A-2s.

Right, II/JG2 was stationed in Tunisia January to March 1943 and had A-2 to A-5 models in their roster. At that time, it wouldn't be de-rated versions any more.
Since the OP asked for fighter units, ZG/SKG do not qualify, or were the designations just a smokescreen? |

Well, the main role of III./ZG 2 - III./SKG 10 unit was ground attack but it flew quite a number of airfield/harbour patrols and bomber interceptions when necessary. When II./JG2 withdrew from Tunisia in March 1943, it handed over its machines to III./SKG 10.
