Hello researcher111,

I am glad you found these photos interesting. The aircraft are difficult to idenitify individually, you are right. The Fw 200 may be WNr. 0034 according to Russian sources, perhaps Chris Goss can solve this particular mystery?

Some more links that I have found are listed below, they include some close-ups of the various captured aircraft:

large selection of still images and photographs from the Gorky park exhibition, including images of a Fw 190D-9 'Dora' and a Fw 200

smaller group of photos, includes many images seen above

bad quality but highly interesting photographs of a He 111 which was used by Soviet POWs to escape from Peenemünde - see summary of the story on Wikipedia
