Help identify a crashed Spitfire with "A / E" markings

[gilles collaveri]

hi everybody,

a friend of mine has a nice picture of a flipped over crash landed spitfire in a field.

It looks like a spit V or IX (but no clipped wings), three blade prop (blades bent = metal), three exhaust pipes,
I would say that the markings are rather early (yellow surrounding on the fuselage roundel : 1941 / 1942 ?) and on each side of the fuselage roundel you can see:
"A" on the left and
"E" on the right.

serial number not legible.

A German soldier is looking at it (so it crashed in an occupied country), many damages can be seen and oil leaks,
so it was clearly shot down.

The field is ploughed but no vegetation, so it was winter or early spring ?

Sorry, but this friend cannot show this picture, it is not his property....

can you help identify ?

thanks
