Civil Ju 52s in Prien dumpyard

Gentlemen,

In "Wings of the Black Cross" Vol. 1 or "Jet&Prop Foto-Archiv" Vol. 6 you can see some photographs showing at least two former Lufthansa Ju 52 in a scrap yard at Prien am Chiemsee. One is wearing the old Lufthansa livery in RLM02, the other is camouflaged.

Is there any clarity about their identity? From what I could decypher the camouflaged example carries the registration D-AUAW. One of my sources identifies this aircraft at Werknr. 641039 "Gerhard Amann". Another source says "Gerhard Amann" was D-AUWA, which crashed at Ivanca in September 1944. Can someone please clear this up for me? Is there also any information about the second, light colored Ju 52?

Cheers,
Christian
