The photograph seems to be taken after the late snowfalls of April '45 in Southern Germany, abandoned after work at the port jet engine. The "band" is a tape covering the joint between prefab tail and fuselage as well as between fuselage and gun compartment.
The camo points to a late Obertraubling/"Stauffen" jet in the 500??? range.
