Hi.

We have seen these on several aircraft of II./JG 5, most of them in the said WNr range.

A bit flatter than the production G-series scoops we believe they were introduced as a modification for the same reason as on the G, possibly at Pori, and thus a JG 5 specific modification.

They could of course turn up in other units later, by transfer of aircraft from JG 5 to for example training units.

Regards,
Andreas B
