Thanks to Chris Simmonds, over on the Bf 109 from Anton to Toni Group, Facebook.com,
we have a nice bunch of pics emanating form Kastrup here, taken in the Summer of 1945:

Thanks :-)

You're welcome, edNorth

Any ideas about this Erla built Bf 109 G-10 "Schwarze 3" ?

Cheers

no, no,
I was looking at Ju 188 D-2 #997 (150997) +AL (aka +AM)

Hello Marc-André,

Thank you for these stunning photos.

I believe that Bf 109 in the first series with the men sitting on its nose is a Bf 109 K-4: Raised oil filler hatch; lower cowl bumps; large upper wing bumps; and a rearward mounted DF loop.

Steve,

My pleasure; the original culprit is Chris Simmonds and Roy-Magne Mo, though

As for your Bf 109 K-4, you're correct: it is actually W.Nr. 334 183 which we can pin down thanks to this other picture showing it in the same position next to a II./JG 3 (white tail band and horizontal black Gruppe bar) 109 G:
