Ed, thanks very much for your info - there's a good chance it's this very aircraft. Seller had multiple photographs and the dates at the back of these pics were at the least confusing. Two pics showing the aircraft on a trailer behind the Luftwaffe truck were taken at the same spot and date - but had different dates in the text and/or at the back of the pics.
Thanks again..!
With kind regards,
