On the other hand:
  • one aircraft is standing on oil drums and has a propeller, just like Re 2002 "black 2"
  • the other is on its undercarriage legs (no wheels), has no propeller and a smashed cowling, just like Re 2002 "white 7"
  • they are stood in front of the burnt-out hangar, just like the two Re 2002
A difference in this latest photograph is that the aircraft on its undercarriage legs no longer has its tailfin, possibly removed as a souvenir, and I would suggest that the same is true of the missing wingtips, hence the "clipped wing" appearance.
