wreck identification - engine pictures

Hi everyone!

I'm new here. With some friends, we try to identify wrecks (or only parts of them sometimes brought by fishermen) in order to build histories of these relics. I admit we are far better experienced in ships than in planes, so we need help.

First riddle to solve: there's a twin-engine plane that was long supposed to be a Bristol Blenheim, but we have recently obtained other informations that allow to think it could be a ju-88 or a ju-188. The wreck is in a very bad shape and partly covered by sand. Both engines are remaining, but propellers have been removed some decades ago. Here are pictures of one engine that is about 1.2-1.3 m wide and 2.6-2.7 m long. The wing (no more flap) is about 2.4 m wide.

I hope someone could help!
