Re: Externally visible differences between Bf 109E-3 and E-7?
Denes, I am not convinced the Emil in your photo is an E-7, although the date would suggest at least an upgraded earlier E. I think this is a minor error in the book and it could be an E-3, E-4 or E-7. Don't go by the caption, though (and I don't mean this a a negative comment on Fernadez-Sommerau's book, I'm a fan of it!).
Vzlion, there are no parts exclusive to any single Emil series we're discussing here (E-1, E-3, E-4 and E-7). The spinners, canopies, engines and wings would be freely interchangeable, although the result would be an odd mix of features, which is exactly what we observe.
Regards,
Kjetil
