But if that photo shows the machine that has been recovered then the longer wingspan and the MG 151 are characteristic of the D-5.
I have NVMs from NSG 9 which give 131086 and 131434 as D-5 (typed as part of the entry) and also 131613 (hand annotation)
From ULTRA, I have these (Note: "Red 286 and 287" are case numbers assigned by German recovery teams, Allied aircraft were all "Black [number]").
