Here's the quoted photo and a detail of a G-10's baggage hole.



At a second, more accurate glance, I do admit there are differences in shape (at least the former is wider and lacks the angled corners on top), differences confirmed by looking at other wrecked K-4, so I agree.

Yes, it has to be. After all, it is a further proof that a complete an thorough study about the late G-series is still to come...
