Dornier Do 17 U factory plate
Greetings! Is it possible to identify the part it is from or even something about the aircraft itself? It probably belonged to the Transportgruppe Herzog or Aufklärungsstaffel 4.(F)/Nacht. Thanks in advance!

Re: Dornier Do 17 U factory plate
It appears to be W.Nr. 2437. Interesting and rare finding. It should be possible to identify the part with an Ersatzteilliste. The L suggest that it was Links, that is a part which were used in two positions, for example a landing gear door or similar.

Re: Dornier Do 17 U factory plate
Thank you very much! I haven't seen wrecks of Do 17's standing on the place of find or anywhere else on the end-war photos which are known to me, but it's the second plate from it (first-not mine-was version E2, W.Nr. probably 2037)

Re: Dornier Do 17 U factory plate
Mickael, may I suggest that the "L" stands for links as in left (i.e., left side). I agree that there would/should have been only one identification plate on each assembly. In the case of the engine covers, perhaps there were multiple covers (cowl segments) of equal design that enclosed an engine, but unique to the left or right engine, thus marked L (or R). What we may be looking at are two plates from two equal covers off a left engine. I have seen similar Do plates marked with an "R", which I associate with rechts or right side. If the covers were universal on both sides I doubt that L or R would appear. Just a thought…
It's interesting that what seems to be the airplane's WNr is entered on such plates; note, on both plates a "7" overstrikes a "6" for the last digit. Hohenmauth, thank you for sharing the plates. Steve Quote:

Today I found another one. Same Sach Nr. as well as Werk Nr. It should be left (or left part of) engine cover. I didn't know one part had two plates.
 Another one, better shape.  Another one from last week. I didn't know that even such a big part as engine cover could have two plates.
