Tim O's photo is of a Do17Z, a later developement with a redesigned forward fuselage incorporating the crew entry hatch; these earlier Do17M or P had the crew entry door on the fuselage side under the left wing, as per attached image, via ebay auction in January of this year.

Paul is right. On closer inspection these are Dornier 17M or P versions with side entry hatch. Not sure what it is under the nose but it is not a wheel!
