so, for my luftwaffe Feldkompanie troops, I'm assuming that they used the standard branch colors and the main things that distinguished them were their red collar tabs and the NCO sleeve rank being white birds instead of green lines.

This is for about 1943-44.

Thanks for confirming.

As I recall about July 1944 the Luftwaffe Field divisions changed over to Wehrmacht waffenfarbe – for example, infantry white or in few cases cavalry yellow
