Thanks for sharing these with us Ed.

Roland, the respective markings and camouflage schemes reveal that the first machine (viewed from the rear) is from the 1113xx series, so possibly 11368 or 113369. The second aircraft, (viewed from the front) is from the 500xxx series, so possibly 500524
.
Based on photographic and narrative edvidence, many of the aircraft that were assigned to JV 44 while at München-Riem were never given a white number, or used operationally (i.e. many of those listed in the 26 April 1945 document). Those that did were ones obtained while forming up at Branderburg-Briest in March, and a few brought to M-R by pilots in early April. As you will recall, Galland and others have stated that they had far more aircraft than they could possibly use (including those from I./KG 51 that were returned to the unit along with their pilots). Other aircraft were being turned over to JV 44 directly from the DHL 'conversion' facilities at M-R (indeed, several aircraft are listed under both the "JV 44" and "DLH" columns).


Finally, I believe that the second image has been published several times in the past, including in Robert Forsyth's opus.

Cheers,

David
