'3 x MG 151/2cm' would makes sense if Weißenberger's Bf 109 G-2 was carrying gondolas.
Wotan, from my infos the Bf 109 G-2 were "normally" equipped with 2 MG 151/20 (not 1), firing through the prop hub and 2 MG 17 in the wings.

From the details I have here, Theo flew at that time, June/July 1943 the G-2, "Yellow 4" with the 7./JG 5 in Petsamo. The image shows no underwing gondolas. This is the fact, which irritates me.

Best, Horst
