I have a shot of the KG 55 He 111 at Wick, Sussex, on 26.8.40 which shows exactly the same thing. I had long puzzled over what it was. It almost looks like some improvised cockpit ventilator, although I like Peter's cheese grater idea better! I will dig out the photo and post it here later. I think it is on the port side.

POSTSCRIPT! Ooooops!! Just viewed your second image, Larry, and realise it is the one I mentioned aboved. Doh!
