Interesting, and an early 109G test it would seem?
I trawled through the 605 loss data that I have but the closest to those engine numbers I have is one about two engines apart, which is close!
There is though 27428 listed as lost as late as 8 Feb '45 in a G-14, which quite a survivor, and would have been rebuilt as an 1800 horsepower AM by then.
Those 25xxx engines are possibly NiMo production, the 76/77xxx probably Genshagen. I know an early Genshagen 77xxx 605A that has a SKODA made crankcase (Kurbelgehause), complete with the SKODA cast-in badge.
There are many major parts from sub contractors. I have seen RENAULT made 605A cylinderblocks with the big Renault diamond shaped badge cast in.
