However there is another photo of the same Go 242 (no other aircraft visible around), but having the same flat landscape around it. One individual visible who may well be Allied can also be seen.

With regard to your "Siebels" they are most likely French post war production, and that goes for all "German" aircraft in the post war French photo albums now being sold on e-bay.

Thanks for the info, Stig.
The two other a/c in the Go 242 photo carry a yellow theatre band so it looks that this photo was taken on the eastern front.
