German airplane chrash at Harøy near Gossen 44/45

My first post here, pls forgive/correct me if not in line with forum rules...

Looking for info regarding a chrash of probably a FW 190 at Harøy, near Gossen airbase at the west coast of Norway. Took place most likely last half of 44 or winter/spring 45. Reason for believing it being a FW 190 is that family members witnessed the crash and later on collected parts from the chrash site, one of them being marked Focke-Wulf. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HIJ3dTsyDuZUoDj03

Furthermore only one pilot bailed out and landed pretty unharmed by parachute and no casualties were found at the crash site. Also, Gossen were the base for a number of FW 190 as well as Me 109.
Eyewitnesses cannot recal if there was smoke coming from the plane before chrashing but remeber that the engine had problems. So the chash may be a result of an accident/engine problem but may also be that the plane was shot down.

Can anyone confirm that the parts (se pictures) are from a FW 190 pls? And may they also have been used on a ME109?

Also, any info re this chrash are very welcome, the eyewitnesses are becoming old and would like to preserve as much infor about this incident as possible for the future generation and as part of the local history.
