Many images show LaGG-3s of 3rd Guards Fighter Air Regiment of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet (3 GvIAP KBF) east of lake Ladoga, Northern front, in winter 1942/43.
This unit, in origin 5th IAP KBF, was made Guards on January 18, 1942; it was headed by Maj. P.V. Kondratyev.
LaGG-3s of this unit were replaced by La-5s in early 1943.
 

The most of the aircrafts in these photos have some interesting characteristics in common: they are of series 35 produced in 1942; their base white-green camouflage has been oversprayed with a partial layer of MK-7 white distemper for camouflaging themon the snow; often it let see the original camo on the fuselage sides and nose.  Image from Red Stars n.1

Here is a general drawing of one representative aircraft. The base camouflage is not distinguishable in photos, and was supposed a standard 1942 AMT-4 green, AMT-6 black and AMT-7 light blue camo.
Some aircrafts were of earlier production, with different base camouflage involving AII colors.
