Nick, not original Ju 188 per se. This is one was ex-Prototype Ju 88 E-2 but Re-edesignated Ju 188 in late 1942. One appeared in 430xxx series (mostly D-1, D-1/trop / D-5 / D-5/trop series. Total of five conversions to Ju 88 E / F series). Without specific JFM records these, they are hard to verify, but three are confirmed. This is one.
The
Ju 88 V61 / Ju 188 V61 /
Ju 88 E-2 DF+EV was W.Nr. 0880140700 and one of a series of conversion of two Standard A-4 and two A-4/trop, one D-1/trop, made at FSD (Dessau) in early/mid summer 1942 onwards - made long before (full year) the A-4 / S-1 140601 etc. were made. These were further research to the Ju 88 B V prototypes done in 1940 to 1941 period.
In flight movie of DF+EV, looks Ju 188´ish, right?
One can see DF+ in one part (when it nearly collides with photoplane) and later E+V clearly under left wing at end of movie. Much better version of this movie I once found on internet.

The Junkers made (Bernburg Assembled) Ju 88 A-4, D-1 and C-6´s were NOT made in nummerical order, none starting at 0001. Three times exactly was the sequence broken, in same manner as Black out blocks were used later, but with large difference, by jumping back and forth!
I know of correct order now, plotted and verified by official docs.
