Fw190A of KG51

I was looking through an old copy of the French magazine 'Areo Journal' (#8, Aug-Sept 99) and in it there's a colour-side-view of an Fw190A-8 9K+ "red3", supposedly of 3./KG51, found at Bad Aibling in May 1945. It appears to be a completely standard A-8 with a blown hood. The only unusual thing is that it lacks the standard late-war spiral painted on the spinner.
Can anyone
a) comment on this aircraft?
and b) tell me where I can find a pic of this aircraft, either on the net or elsewhere?
TIA
