Fw 190 V-27 - details of signs on it's wings
 
When I looked closer at V-27's wings I noticed some signs/stencils on the right and a inscription on the left wing.
Does anybody od You know the details of both signs and the inscription?

thank you

Some books describe RLM cancelled Fw190C/D prototype V22,23,26 and 27 on June 3,1943.
Do you have a photo of V27 under construction?

I meant this one.
I'm in a little confusion now, is it V-27 indeed?

Thank you for the photographs.
Dietmar Hermann states in "Focke-Wulf Hohenjager Vom ersten Hohenjager zur FW190H" the plane was Fw190B-0, W,Nr.0046 TI+IK. Manfred Griehl & Joahim Dressel state in "FOCKE WULF FW190/Ta152" V46 was W,Nr.0046 TI+IK.
The wing was enlarged to 12.3m, 20.3m2. So that the signs on right wing seem like measurement point to estimate wing distortion caused by extended outer wing.
I can't read or find evidences of the inscription on the left wing, maybe a notification for construction or conversion, such as "Attach larger aileron" or "Cut off the wing spar here", I suppose.
