The author of the Monogram Clopse-Up on the 109 K came back to me and confirmed that as far as his records go, indeed no K-6 reached the frontlines.
So the obvious question is... could one of the JG 300 Bf 109 G-10s have had gunpods fitted? If not, what unit did the aircraft come from that the 355th FG pilot shot down that day?
I did find a rather interesting shot of a Bf 109 G-10 in very dark camouflage:

The picture was taken in Bavaria and thus not directly relevant to the search, but still very interesting.
But again, no gunpods
