Fragments of a DB605 … but which version?

Hi,

These last months I've slowly and painfully taken out parts of a DB605 engine from the ground, and I wonder if someone has some clues that would help ID the version of the engine, that could maybe help a little to ID the plane itself.

Here are some pictures of the most relevant parts:

Exhaust valve and port: note the amazing conditions of the exhaust valve, its has only been water washed and lightly bead blasted

Intake valve and rocker arm

Connecting rod lower plain bearing

Partial number: I think it might be 605.100-001, reference part of the crankshaft housing, number seen on the left side of the engine.

This is the front end of the left cylinder block:

After bead blasting, a stamped serial appeared on it:

Anyone knows what it means? I assume L stands for links (left) ? So far it is the only serial I have for the whole plane, I hope it will help!

Last part, looks like a gun synchro interruptor, but can't identify it, and it has no numbers on it.

Thanks for the interest!
