My modus operandi: since Mtt Regensburg and Erla Leipzig camo styles are well defined and esily recognized, if doesn't match those, then must be from WNF. This leaves the option of main repair centres, but since these camo styles are not so well photo-documented...

Of interest in those photos are the ailerons, all visible have Flettner tabs. A number of machines received those in late 1943, but camo doesn't match the one applied in WNF at the time.
