Messerschmitt 109 E main build plates
 
Can anyone throw any light on whether there are any known examples on Battle of Britain/1940 period 109 E's of the main build data plates (external port side fuselage, forward below cockpit and above wing root) being two-rivet examples instead of the usual rectangular plate secured by a rivet in each four corners? The data plate(s) in question is/are rectangular but with rounded triangular ends - if that makes sense - with a single rivet securing hole at the apex of each rounded triangular end. If so, does anyone know of photographs of any examples??

Andy, you do not have Wick's ID plate, do you?
Oh, no his one had six rivets.
