What about Müncheberg's 109?
The fairing over the edges of the gun trough is painted in red (?) - and even bolted!
What can you say about this?

Taking a closer look at the various pictures i have, it seems the fairings were of a different kind. Looks like they were shallow. As i said earlier i believe they are associated with a specific WNF batch.
If you wish i can send you the whole diagrams covering the armament of the E-1/E-3. It was impossible to fit both at the same time and it would have been a mess to attempt to change the type of weapons between missions.
