Maybe this is an explanation concerning the camouflage difference on the cowling.

..I think - on reflection - you're right. Two pictures of St Trond under attack in the Lorant 190 book ...no sign of snow. Another source describes Wagner as landing on the airfield itself...this looks to be in open countryside...
