Question of numbers...

Hi all!

Have been studying a photo of JG 300:s base at Borkheide, autumn 1944.

I agree that they are G-14/AS, as the small bulge on the cowling is visible.

When I look at the number(s) however, I can naturally see the "1" just beside the BK. However, beside the "1" can also be seen a "5".

As the two numbers are not aligned with one another, and too close, I have ruled out a sloppy groundcrew.

So, my question is, is it a "5" with a painted out "1" or the other way around?

Furthermore, the aircraft in the background also seem to carry the number "1".

If anyone can enlighten me on this matter, I would be grateful.

Humbly yours,

Angantyr
