Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

I believe this is a captured Bloch 151 and printed in reverse.
What is interesting to me is the four-blade prop. At face value I cannot recall seeing any Bloch before using such a device.
Browsing through Serge Joanne's Bloch 152 book I found what I think is the same aircraft, page 433. The author makes no comment at all with regard to the prop.

How common was it?

Interesting

That of course begs the question, why?
Anyone who knows any other photo of such equipped Blochs?
