Fw 190 D WNr. 211133

Continuing my previous questions and trying to check Jerry's Crandall post (see http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=15001) , I am looking for a lead to the picture of above mentionned plane. Who can help please?
Looking through Jerry's volume 1 this WNr. is not mentionned. In JaPo's FW 190 D book neither. Closiest WNr. matches out of Eric's, Marc's and Tomas' book are the next ones: 211132 and 211140.
Remark: In order to follow Jerry's explanation concerning WNr. 211251, could it be that the detail pictures of the VVS Fw 190 D in Modeller's Eye and JaPo Vol 2 p. 467 is WNr. 211123 or 211323 which is mentionned in JaPo's list?
pro: as mentionned by Jerry and explained in JaPo's book the camouflage pattern of the VVS planes match better the WNr. 210901-211200 batch (Fuselage: 76/82/83 green blue, Rudder 81 spots (no RLM 75) interior of B4 cross 76 - Wings 82/83). It was found in Mariënburg.
contra: WNr. Starts with 2 and finished with a 1.
This leave us with three WNrs which were tested by the VVS Soviet Air Force Scientific Research Institute: 210251, 210185 and 211123, Three out of he 5 planes seen in picture p. 70 of Modeller's Eye book...
