Re: He177 & Ju88 W.Nr. Check?

Addition: Actually I remembered wrongly! These 5xxx numbers were in MAAF FIU Technical Report No.15 on Toulouse/Blagnac, but later pages in same set of reports give this info:

Balma Aerodrome (in storage buildings for He 177 parts) this report notes, for example, on one forward He 177 fuselage marked "432022", one nose section either "431007" or "432007" (both numbers appeared twice it says). "No dataplates recovered".

In another building were noses marked "30013", "433120", "30011", "30012", "1014" (also marked 30009).

So number "413/140" seems earlier fuselage / nose (component) number. It does not say if these parts were new or had been removed from damaged aircraft. These buildings at Balma contained lots of spares, wings, tails etc. but only (all) these numbers noted.
