You're most welcome. I can greatly recommend Graf Zeppelin's Eagles - it's a much expanded and updated version of Francis Marshall's earlier works on the subject. Even if you do have Sea Eagles, you still won't regret buying the new book - not just for the new information it contains, but also because of the much higher production quality and reproduction of images.

Returning to the 109 T, interestingly, while at one point or another several aircraft were fitted with full carrier equipment, the only photographs that I am aware of showing a Bf 109 equipped with both arrestor hook and catapult points are of the V17 (a converted C-1, W.Nr. 1776, originally built by Mtt Augsburg in February 1938, D-IYMS / TK + HK).
