Another Erla K-4/R6 is documented with BAL acceptance flight from February 16, 1945. It was the W.Nr. 570 362. I gave Mr. Prien this information in the beginning of the 90's and he used it for his publication to the Bf 109F-K.

Yes, the Erla K-4/R6 had the same engine cowling like the Erla G-10 (without the chin bulges). It seems it was the planned style for all K-4's but Erla got the tools alone.
Interesting too that mmoustaf mentioned the picture in his posting from
December 12, 2008 .... unfortunately in the wrong forum - the allied forum.
