Those three low res photos do match up with three other - much better - photos made by Frank Lembo in 1945, as his unit passed the wreck 19 March 1945. In one of those photos, the church tower of Zeppernick can be recognised, pinpointing the location just west of Loburg:

Both those Erla built Bf 109 G-10's were lost 2 March 1945, belly landing after air combat on that day - with no indication given of their tactical marking. 2 March 1945 was a sinister date for JG 301 as it lost 20 Bf 109's, all Erla produced Bf 109 G-10's. Information courtesy of George Morrison.
