Thanks everyone. From that, I see that there is a picture of NK+ZG in Chris Goss's "Sea Eagles, Volume Two" (Classic, 2006) on page 186. It has no upper turret but at least one additional "T" antenna above the cockpit.

A while ago I asked about He 111 TM+KM, which RT said was W.Nr. 7583.

However, I now find in the QMG loss returns that TM+KP, reported by II./KG 100 as lost on 2 September 1942, is also listed as 7583 (as I read the blurred image on the microfilm — see attached).

Can anyone say which St.Kz. went with which Werk Nummer (or perhaps deduce it from other W.Nr. in the TM+K_ series)?

Thanks.
