Steve, you're smack on the money! Actually, this picture is part of a four pictures set taken in an unknown French airfield sometimes in the autumn of 1944, and depicting a derelict Bf 109G, which precise subtype I'm not able to make out. Another E-bay ripp-off busted, as all were published way back in 1988 by Carl Hidebrandt's excellent Broken Eagle Volume 2, devoted to the Bf 109 G/K, Part one, p. 2 - 3. Original credit is given to Rutherford and Reynolds...
Thanks for making me check back those excelent Hildebrandt publications, which in turn made me stumble on more pictures of the Wertheim assembly line!
Cheers
Marc
