Re: SK+JS

The V13 was the first FW190B prototype but wasn't continued as the D model was forthcoming. The letters are the factory code ( Stammkennzeichen) painted on in production ( also below the wings) and it stayed with the aircraft even if replaced by the unit designators when assigned.
The last letter was unique to the aircraft eg. GH-KS, KT and KU were other FW190s.
