Hello Juha,
I took values from the "Lentäjän Näkökulma IV" and got 423,66km/h at 5000m for 8600kg. Assuming e=0,8, n=80% and 120kp exhaust thrust (Do 17Z seem to have ejector outlets). So while not exactly accurate, the ballpark appears to be correct.

Edit: And for the Bf 109G-2 I got 3,22km/h speed reduction for 3000=>3500kg at 1,30ata 2600rpm. e=0,8 n=80% exhaust thrust 70kp (based on MT-215 data)
