Both are correct for the G. The '87 is for medium altitude 109s with the DB 605A (or AM). Basically G-1 through G-6, and G-8, G-14, G-12.

The '159 prop is a wider bladed prop used with the high altitude 605AS and 605D engines on G-5/AS, G-6/AS, G-14/AS, G-10 and K-4.

A reversible pitch Messerschmitt P6 prop was fitted to handful of early G airframes to assist (decrease) with ground roll.

I have found a prop recently, but I was told the number is 9-12159 10. I looked at the pic, and it could be "A0" at the end...just have no experience with this last digit.

Thoughts?

From the propellor docs I have seen there is indeed designations like 9-12159.10, but I am not sure of the importance of the last two digits.. it seems to me variations to a prop with the same base properties.
