Seeking ID & info on downed Do17Z in the French Ardennes During Phoney War or early Frenc/Western Campaing

Hello,

Trying to ID this Do17Z, including any other additional photos of this a/c that crashed in hilly, wooded terrain. Photos show French soldiers ("Poilus") gathered around the crash. The caption suggests they are Belgian troops, but they are French. This could be Phoney War or very early in the Blitzkrieg in the West of May, 1940. Note the terrain in the background:

Who can help?
