Nick,

I agree that that these machines must have been handed over to some organization that flew them to points in southern Germany / Austria. A few thoughts.

There is a photo of another similar aircraft “DS+ZV’, WNr.100048 wearing a white tailband and mounting a pair of underwing Waffen-Behälter 81A. Its spats are also missing.

At München-Riem there are at least two machines that I think may have been associated with NSGr. 9:

Ju 87 D-3, “??+sw.GK”, WNr.110741: Probably 2./NSGr 9. Single colour spinner, no white tailband visible, light wellen of RLM 79, white-painted rear and top of spats, white-outlined, squarish black “G” on the spats.

Ju 87 D-, “??+??”, WNr.??????,: Possibly NSGr. 9. Light wellen of RLM 79, white-painted rear and top of spats, four-quartered two-colour spinner.

Regarding the white-/RLM 76-coloured rear and shaft of the spats, this is seen on the Ju 87 D-3s “E8+ge.GL” and another uncoded one at Innsbruck-Hötting.

Food for thought…

Best,

David
