That much I do know (although many such were still described as G-6 in German signals) but I couldn't make out a Werk Nummer on the photo and without that or the camera windows I was stuck for clues. The MG 131s seem to be present; had they not been there, it would have been a good pointer to a G-8, many of which had their armament reduced to a single MG 151/20 (e.g. in service with 4. and 5.(F)/123).
