Me109 windshield ?

Dear all,

I need your advise on these parts. They were found on a Me109G crash site (from 1/NAGr-13) in France.

1) The first part really seems to be the windshield. I am puzzled by the fact that we have twice the same part: was the 109 windshield made with two pieces of glass one on the other ? Thickness is 2 cm;

2) The second one reminds me of the opening on the engine cowl for the machine gun.Then, we should have green camouflage, and not grey. What do you think ? had NAGr-13 specific grey painting ?

Pilots :
GREGORITSCH, Franz Paul Ofhr 1/10/1923 Klagenfurt - 1/NAGr-13 Bf 109G Werk # 20680
HEBER Fritz, 11/02/1919 in Nauerhof, Leipzig - 1/NAGr-13 Bf 109G Werk 410257. Buried Block 9 Reihe 48 Grab 1177. Ploudaniel-Lesneven.

Any remark will be welcome.

GC
