Engine numbers for Me410A W.Nr.018

At the end of July 1943, the Americans captured Trapani airfield in Sicily. On that field amonst ca. 113 burned out German a/c was one virtually complete Me 410 A recce aircraft. The a/c was W.Nr. 018, F6+WK. It is now in the Smithsonian collection and is a unique subtype, the Me 410 A-1/U1, and not the A-3 as often stated.

What was never mentioned in the intelligence report of its capture was the engine numbers for the two DB 603s. Does anyone happen to know what they are?

Thanks for any help,
George
