"Yellow G" was a D-3. I have never found a single D-7 or D-8 among strength returns for NSG 9 (nor any other NSG). I have never seen one in loss records or in Allied reports on captured or wrecked aircraft either.
P.S. for Franck: if you want to determine where each aircraft was at Hötting, then you just have sit down with a large-scale map and compare it to the photographs — hard work, I know, but it seems like the only way to do it. The modern airport was built over the site but some features have remained essentially the same: the River Inn (southern perimeter), the road (northern perimeter), the mountains and the churches on them. The overhead power lines that ran across the southern part of the field are still on the map as well. Those should give you sufficient reference points to work from.
