Any idea on the whereabouts and W.nr. of this ZG1 me210 photographed in Tunisia?

Re: ZG1 in Tunisia

I thank you both for your very prompt answers. The one you suggest could be indeed a good candidate. The only thing is that it seems to me that there is the tail of another aircraft sticking out in the background. Could it be that this me210 has been photographed in a junkyard or an abandoned landing ground? Of course, it could also have been retrieved from the place it crashed and carried to a collecting place. In any case, I think it is an interesting colour image. Thank You Very Much again!
