He 111 Engines
 

I am afraid this is not my area of expertise but how to you differentiate a He 111 P's engines (DB601) from a He 111 H's engines (Jumo 211). Did the former have exhaust stubs and the latter exhaust tubes for example?

Supercharger intakes on different side of the engines. Somewhat different shape of engine nacelles.

Pawel: So if you are looking at the starboard engine from the starboard wingtip, would the visible supercharger intake above an exhaust tube indicate a H?

Re: He 111 Engines
 

Yes, on H the intakes were on the starboard (right) side of the engines looking in flight direction.

Great and thanks

Now for quick ID visual aids.

P intake on the left / Port side of the engine nacelle, H intake on the right / Starboard side. As for exhausts, that could vary. Not a reliable ID point. Especially as retrofitting occurred.
