possible ANR bf109 late war spoil?

The swastika shown in image 4 here is a GI war trophy

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...2306027&type=3

and is marked on the reverse "Taken from tail of an ME-
109 Milano, Italy"
Now,the first Allied units entered liberated Milan on April, 27, 1945.
If it is really coming from a messerschmitt (any ideas? dimensions seem right, the background color... not so much), could it belong to one of those ANR fighters that retained the hakenkreuz? Or there were still German 109s around in the Milan area at the end of the war?

Best,

Andrea
