243. "The 'White 4' is made serviceable again.", Jurleit, p. 133.
In this photo, the pattern of the original port engine nacelle is unique. 1. The bare metal cowling, 2. the splinter dark upper camo's rear edge sloping in a straight line under the wing, 3. a slightly dark shade of blue white immediately under the wing, 4. a whiter bottom nacelle panel, 5. a darkened first foot hold on the bottom panel, 6. the beginning of oil seepage along the panel seam and 7. the lack of a red ring on the side of the nacelle.

244. This photo of the starboard side of W.Nr. 170061 white "4" was taken after the starboard engine was replaced by one with a camouflaged cowling. Note the dark tape added over the tail joint and the red ring on the side of the nacelle.

245. If Jurleit was correct, II./JG 7 must have received orders to transfer all of its Me 262s to JV 44 at München-Reim as W.Nr. 170061 is listed as being with JV 44 there on 26 April 1945. Some sources, according to O'Connell p. 51, say that W.Nr. 170061 may be one of the aircraft captured at Innsbruck-Hotting. The camo pattern and lack of red ring on the port engine nacelle in this screenshot look suspiciously akin to that seen in #242 and #243 above.
If this white "4" is W.Nr. 170061, then the '
kaulquappe' rudder assembly had been replaced by a late-production example with a tail-light bulb. Also, it has been repainted in JV 44 camo and the "4" moved to the rear fuselage as per fighter units.
