Andrew, indeed very similar but the 'Nicht anfassen' marking applied to the rudder in the eBay photo is missing from the photo of the Yellow 1+I Bf109F-2 in the book you mention. It is also not visible on his F-4 in the photo below it. Either his rudder had a repaint over the marking or it's another F of his? Or another pilot?
