Re: Trainbusting
This is an interesting question but I think one that is not easily answered. It seems to me that the a/c is clearly a Beaufighter with the dihedral tailplane. Clearly there are at least two a/c involved in this incident including the a/c that took the photo. The appearance of the roundels is very likely to be the result of "flare" that as Franek says occurs a lot in B&W photos and from my experience can be exaggerated when photos are enlarged (as may be the case with this).
I wonder whether the style of the buildings might give some clues as to the locality are they generically "alpine" or specifically Norwegian? There are a lot of strike photos like this that were taken during Beaufighter operations over the Balkans in the winter of 1944/45.
