Bf109E-1 or E-3 redesignation
I have a question regarding Bf109 designations for field or maintenance unit modifications.
As far as I can determine, the only difference between the Bf109E-1 and E-3 models was the wing armament - 7.9mm MG17 for E-1 and 20mm FF cannon for the E-3. So would there have been a designation change, if an original E-1 was modified (i.e. re-winged) with an E-3 cannon-armed wing.
Any knowledge or educated-guess as to what sort of designation change?
- E-1 re-designated E-3?
- E-1 remains E-1 but with E-1/xyz (perhaps an R- armament number)
Regards,
