Adam,
I quite agree - it looks like the same aircraft. There is a (towing?) chain lying on the ground near the aircraft in (exactly?) the same position - as can be seen in both pictures... And the shadows of the aircraft match too...
Judging by the shadow of the sun, the picture must have been taken when the sun was at it's highest position of the day - and in Summer too..! (Shadows are usually longer in The Netherlands...)

The shape of the camouflage net seems to correspond with the shape of the hangar. In the photograph you were referring to, there is a camouflage construction which looks like it's attached to the corner of the hangar - which could be the same camouflage net..(?)
The hangar is a rather large hangar, by the way... If the photographs of the aircraft are from a series, then we are probably looking at "Werft I"... (As the text at the back of the eBay-photograph indicates. Whether this text is original and correct... Who shall say..?)

Just my two cents, for what it's worth...

Whether it's at Leeuwarden, I'm not (yet) completely sure. When looking at aerial photographs - there could be a position at leeuwarden that matches, but I still have to check some more photographs...

With kind regards,

Piet Bouma
