Uffz. Rudolf Einberger's Me-109

Hi to all!

After a few busy weeks I finally have the opportunity to do some research. In this case, I have a few questions about Uffz. Rudolf Einberger.
In the Erik Mombeeck JG 1 book, part two, page 164, we can see a nice picture of Rudolf Einberger's Bf-109. Also in this book: http://books.google.com/books?id=AnO...berger&f=false

What plane is this? In other words, is this WerkNr. 15472 (black 8, crashed on 19 August 1943) or WrkNr. 26052 (black 8, crashed on 8 October 1943)? If I'm correct, Fw. Fritz Haspel is standing on the wing. He did not fly from 12 August 1943 till 4 December 1943, so that means that the picture was taken before 12 August 1943... So in that case the Me-109 should be 15472 (though the pilot of this aircraft is not known. Perhaps Einberger?).

Let me know what you think!
