Another gap closed. Merci beaucoup for the quick response. Much appreciated.
According to my sources NAG 102 must have received quite a batch in this WNr range such as WNrn 5243, 5249, 5252 and 5257. Are any further Ar 96s from NAG 102 known in this range? When received NAG 102 those trainers, i.e. when and where were they manufactured? Thank you.

Roland

You could add to your list , the 425248/425256/425262/425263, ab 425257 STKZ = NU+Cx ..possibly here not same batch one ending to 425256 the other beg. with 425257, producer Avia ?? as soon as Sept.43 .....
At least one with NAG 102 in oct 43/425262, who fly to Sweden, without 'agreement' of german authorities in aug. 44 ,first loss in april 44,

Yes, that was on the 30th and Uffz Franz Maier had documents on him which showed he was with 3./TG 4, or at least had belonged to that unit.
No other unit was recorded for the aircraft which later became SE-AOA
