Hello

Yes, it seems to be turret-less variant of the Gotha Kalkert Ka 430, maybe a prototype? It would indicate that the picture is valuable for aviation history.

But frankly speaking I doubt that in the forrest is one more turret-less Ka 430. Its nose profile is not characteristic for this glider. In my opinion this is Gothaer Waggonfabrik Go 242 with its typical nose landing gear rectangular profile (in front view).
