Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!
Thanks Ed. I did some more digging and have added a few more images. First is the painted number on the side of the NASM 01602842 as it was being stripped for rebuilding. This engine still has the data plate and stamping which matches that painted number. So your painted number which appears to be 01603099 and matches the stamping should confirm that is the engine werke nr.
I found something internally. In one of the attached photographs of the NASM DB603 01602842, the prop hub has been removed and there are two hexagonal cover plates, one at the top for the prop drive and the other below for the crank/cannon port. At the top of each is inscribed a 2842 . It is hand inscribed and not a machine stamp. Possibly you could locate these on your engine.
Looking at the Austrian Museum DB603 E-1 ( wn. 10603410 ) found on Wikipedia, I do notice that the prop hub mounting bolts are arranged differently than on the A-2 engine at NASM. Your engine is so damaged that I cannot visualize this, but maybe since it was cleaned up you may see both those numbers and/or that bolt pattern.
