Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

By courtesy of Mato Lion, over on Late war Bf 109's group, FB, two new photos of the often photographed Bf 109 G-14 W.Nr. 783 906 "Gelbe 8", 3./JG 4 have emerged:

On the caption written on the back of this photo, location is said to be Eisfeld near Coburg, Germany. The other photos of W.Nr. 783 906 are said to be taken at Ennsfeld in Hideki Noro "LO+ST", p. 172. Actually this does not seem correct as there were no know Lw actitivites or landing fields there.

Finally, one US Signal Corps photo showing another Mtt built Bf 109 G-14/AS "Gelbe 6", also of 3./JG 4, was offered for sale in May 2014 with a caption saying it was taken at Eisenach-Kindel, near Gotha:

To my knowledge, I./JG 4 was last stationed at Berlin-Schönfeld until disbandment on 19 March 1945. What happened afterwards ? Were was actually photographed both W.Nr. 783 906 "Gelbe 8" and "Gelbe 6" which are seen in the same landscape ?

Thanks in advance.
