I would think there would be a stamp with "declassified on every page "see ig the pages i posted. This would be the document that would have gone through official channels. However i have many german manuals etc that never went though those channels and have no Allied marking what so ever.
So it is very well possible no stamps were printed on those documents just because they never were officially Allied.
Question remains (for me) if these are the documents for the Fw190 that went with the Japan export or the 2 that were left on the dock.
Nice little tid bit of information: The Japanese paid : 404300 Reichsmark for a A5 variant, the Turks paid 510.000 Reichsmark (per unit with spare engine per unit) for a series of 72 A3. Interestingly it seems these were called the Fw190Aa-3 ("a" stands for ausländisch or foreign)
