Of particular interest, its wooden tail unit features what may be a rarely-seen curved lower wooden rudder profile (unless it was just damaged in the crash).
Also, its WNr. was applied to its upper fin, and its vertical yellow III-Gruppe bar is broader than its yellow plane number “2.”
Finally, it has what appears to be a roughly-applied 8, 3, or 9, remnants of the “last-three” of its WNr., peeking out aft of its RV band.
Respectfully,

I believe it's a Blue 2 white outlined as usual.
Cheers,
Franck.
