I'm no Bach expert, of course, just like everything else, if I wasn't lazy I could download it from google and play it to find out for sure...

Old age apparently sneaks up on you. With a sledge hammer.
I'd still kind of like to find sheet music to this, but for a Bb Trumpet. I don't have a piccolo trumpet, and at any rate it would be work for me getting into the upper ranges of the song. I could do it 15 years ago, but I was a lot younger and actually played a lot back then.....

Actually, it's the concerto number 2 that has the trumpet in the concertino group. It is also originally written for natural trumpet in F. Here is a link to the original music. You can transpose it by replacing the flat in the key signature with a sharp and read it up a perfect 5th. Sorry, its that hazards of being a band director. And no, I wasn't at the premier. Handle had a hot session of trio sonatas that evening in London.
