Dornier Do 17E-3 (W. Nr. 3003, NA+EU)

Hello,
does anybody know more about this Do 17? Only information I got is from a Russian monography about the type (Eksprint, 2003) and certain website (airpages.ru) where the said plane (shown on photograph) is described as Do 17E-3, forcelanded on 21st March 1941 near Belorussian small town Cechanovec. The machine probably belonged to KFS 4 in Toruń (Thorn) and after landing was tested in the NII VVS, then returned back to Germans. What makes me wonder is the W. Nr. 3003 - it mismatch the Do 17E/F Werknummer blocks I found on this forum (the block 3001 - 3131 was reserved for the subtype E-1 made in license by Henschel).
There is also another Do 17E-1 probably of KFS 3 at Warsaw-Okecie which forcelanded in the West Belorussia one day before.

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance
Martin Nový
