Re: Nice photo find - German planes captured by British Paratroopers
I'd also add that it is most unlikely to be an internal mounting for a rocket. Think for a moment about the rocket's exhaust.
As we know that Messerschmitt was intending an internal wing mounting for the cannon, then it will have been tried on an experimental aircraft before going into production, and the installation here appears to very close indeed to the other test example. Minor differences are only to be expected at this development stage.
