Oesau's 109 in this gun camera image?

Hi All, I wondered if anyone had seen this gun camera image before. The tactical number on the fuselage of this light colored 109 looks like the "13" I have seen on profiles of Oesau's Gustav. The aircraft appears to be relatively low and levelling out, as if preparing to land - which jives with the reports that he was fatally hit attempting to make an emergency landing...perhaps there is the original footage out there in the hands of one of you?

The image appears in the pages of a USAAF XIX Tactical Command Document written in Sept 1944, with no caption.

Peep it here: http://www.siteupdates.com/drt/images/Oesau109G.jpg
