The presence of GM-1 required the use of low-octane fuel (i.e 87 octane = B4). The fact that Specht's aircraft had a C3 (96 octane) indication, means that it had no GM-1 and most probably also no MW-50, since with the DB 605AS used B4 when MW-50 was installed.
The only exception was the DB 605ASC engine which could use C3 fuel with MW-50. This version however was built very late in the war, so I guess it is not the case of the G-5/AS flown by Specht.
IMHO, at least...
