I suspect those 'E-4' with the old canopy are in many cases E-3s... the August 1940 strenght reports show large number of E-1s and E-4s and few E-3s around - the only logical conclusion is that many E-3s after getting the MG-FF/M were also 'officially' restamped/designated as E-4s.

Out of curiousity, which version of the DB 601A did the E-4s gets? A-1 or Aa? I believe the E-7s had the Aa as standard.
