Unusual fuselage codes on a He 70

Recently, there was an interesting photo sold on eBay, which apparently shows a He 70 with the following fuselage code: E2+4- (see scan below).

Reportedly, the code 'E2' belonged to Erprobungsstelle Rechlin.

Any further thoughts?

Re: Unusual fuselage codes on a He 70

In 1937 E2 was tasked with engine testing. In 1939 Rechlin was restructured and E2 was responsible for aircraft in general and equipment installations. Beginning in 1945 E2 was responsible for aircraft only. There are 3 He 70 mentioned to be operated by Erp.Stelle Rechlin: GN+AX, GN+AY and GP+AA. Unfortunately I have no record of the aircraft in the picture.
