Hi there Anders,
Good point there! I've just checked my files and here are the results, taken only from the certainly identified W.Nr's in the 334 000 batch:
A. Mtt-"Bürg" fuselages low visibility camouflage scheme:

As always so far, not enough evidence... Still, there are more fuselages then the odd W.Nr. 334 265 case as shows W.Nr. 334 183 found in Kastrup. There might be a third case, the dismantled fuselage found and photographed in Fürth, W. Nr. 33? 234. What are the figures? Of the ten documented W.Nr's, eight are finished in the low-visibility camouflage typical of Mtt-Flossenbürg fuselages, and only two in the old Mtt camouflage style prominent in the 330 000 - 331 000 batches.
Is this enough of a clue? I'm unsure, Anders. Let's extend our search:
- Is there any clue this oddity repeats itself in the other documents production batches?
Interestingly, this is not the case: seventeen of the eighteen 332 000 batch W.Nr. known airframes and all the four 335 000 batch W.Nr. known airframes show the low visibility low-camouflage pattern. None sports the "old" high demarcation line on their fuselage which, by the way, is not documented beyond W.Nr. 331 413 so far. As an aside note , one can notice an "intermediate" fuselage camouflage demarcation line showing up in both 331 000 (one instance: W.Nr. 331 461 ) and 332 000 (one instance: W.Nr. 332 429) batches: the division line runs along the middle line of the fuselage Balkenkreuz.
Given this "global" view, the "old" high demarcation line shown both by W.Nr. 334 183 and 334 265 is something of a peculiarity: those airframes remain isolated and, maybe together with W.Nr. 33? 234 do speak more for a recycling of older airframes then the making of new ones. Let's now wait for another 200 photographically documented airframes before we can nail down for sure this lead;-))
Cheers
