Frankly I don't know. Obviously we can see anchors on roundels but it's not the normal way to paint them and I don't understand why the French Navy ...
Since I guess there was no French troops at Schleswig-Jagel these anchors are a free GI rendition.
Need to have a look in old "Fanatique de l'Aviation" article concerning the Me262s used by Armée de l'Air.
Last, yes, we can imagine it has been a gift but if so it hasn't been flown from there to Bretigny but, better, disassembled and load on trucks ... Hence my comments above.
