As far as I know, there was only one "Yellow 5" captured at Leck. Richard A. Franks, on page 22 of his
Airframe Album 13: The Heinkel He 163/A Detailed Guide to the Luftwaffe's Volksjäger, (Valiant, 2018) captions this photograph as,
"The fuselage of He 162A-1 W/Nr.310003 'Yellow 5' of 3./JG 1 on a rail flatbed prior to shipment to the French Air Force facility at Nantenne; this airframe was never rebuilt to fly, being one of the A-1 series airframes used for spares to keep the A-2s flying."
I hesitate to dismiss the claim concerning Mrs. Ihlefeld because of the very unusual
wappen that includes the
Geschwader, Gruppe and
Staffel emblems.
best regards,
