Crash landed Me110

Hello,
I have been researching the attached photo of a crashed Me110 that I recently acquired in a group of photo's.

These are my thoughts on the photograph. It is a Me110C of V/LG1 taken in 1939-40. There appears to be a wolfs head painted on the detached cowling. Looking at the propellers, the right engine had already stopped when the aircraft made a wheels up belly landing in the field. The top right propeller is still 'standing' and has not been impacted by the crash. This suggests to me that the right engine had already stopped by the time of impact. The left engine was working at the time of the landing as can be seen by the state of the engine.

Any thoughts or observations would be very much appreciated. Any guesses or ideas about date, crew etc.
Regards,
Andy
