On the first point, I don't know if the 160 000 series were rebuilt A-5s or "genuine" G-3s but I'm sure someone here will.
Would there have been an operational need for the drop tanks by this time and would there have been enough fuel to put in them, I wonder? However, there was at least one RAF Mosquito claim very late in the war for an Fw 190 with underwing drop tanks although it may take me some time to locate the report.
