This is simply an early (and obsolete) Bf 109 that survived to serve in a training or noncombat establishment (note the decidedly noncombat aircraft in the background) in 1940 and later. A great many—probably all—such retired survivors received a repaint in due course, possibly after a mishap, possibly not.

Thank you gentlemen.

Not being one who keep track of work numbers and remanufactured airframes, I found it interesting in that it had factory codes, was in the greys, but clearly was an early model.

The pictures I have seen of eaerly 109s used in training have the large numbers and are in green(s).
