Thanks for the additional info, by the way.
If he considers a Dora canopy to be a birdcage, he'd consider any germany fighter canopy as a birdcage, which doesn't narrow down the search. The ERLA haube has more framing than either blown or original Fw canopies.

IMHO you are only left with the wing guns as indicators.

PS. sorry for my lack of reaction wrt PM!!
