The cockpit baggage compartment of the K-4 is much more "square" (it is still trapezoidal, of course...) than the one of the G-10...

Look here to see a couple of K-4 examples and compare them with the example of a G-10 supplied in the previous page...





Thus, the plane visible in the album of the 3rd Armored Division should not be a G, at least as far as that detail is concerned. But all other deductions of Franck can be certainly shared.

So we have a G-10/R2 with a baggage compartment hatch looking like the one of a K-4... on the other hand the location of the plane seems to be the same in both photographs.

It certainly is a a fascinating mistery, but in the end that frontal photo seems to be the third one of "white 66"....
