Ju 88 nose?

Hello,

Those parts are said coming from a Ju 88. They were found where an alleged Ju-88 crashed : http://www.aircrewremembrancesociety...4/Florian.html

For sure, this comes from a german aircraft but I couldn't recognize it as a Ju 88 G-6.
It seems to be a nose (or a engine nacelle tip?) with attaches and perhaps a hole for a weapon... I am quite lost as this piece has a kind of 'shark' section compared to a more 'rounded' Ju 88 nose.
The horseshoe-like ferrous part may be the base for an radar antenna but where are the others?
The G-6 hasn't machine-guns through the nose compared to C variants.
Approx dimensions: width 100cm, height : 75 cm, length : 85cm.
There is also a panel which comes from the same crash location.

I guess for restoration specialist, this trick should be easy meat...

Could you ID those parts please?

Best regards

ClinA-78
