I guess there is not too much info out there about them.

Did Arthur Axmann wore the same collartabs as H.Himmler? Were they the same collor?
No.
The same basic configuration of elements (a cluster of three oak leaves within a laurel wreath) was worn on the respective final-model collar patches for the heads of the SS (Himmler), SA (Lutze, then Schepmann), NSKK (Hühnlein, then Kraus) and HJ (Axmann), but the colors were different.
See here for some images:

I believe the images above are from the very last Wochenschau/Newsreel (or close to the last)...
At the beginning of each Wochenschau, a list of photographers is displayed on the screen. I suggest finding this last newsreel on Youtube and checking the list of names to see if your friend is among them...

In the first pic - the kid next in line for shaking AH's hand is Alfred Czech.
Unfortunately one encounters some ...peculiar.... pages when searching, as he seems to be of interest to certain groupings.
The one who is shaking hands with AH (first pic) is Wilhelm Hübner
Born: 1929?
Died: April 12, 2010
Hübner survived the war and was interviewed for several documentaries including 'V Was for Victory' and 'The World at War.'
