That is an MG131 weapon. I am unable to post images here, but I do have a similar image of a MG131 in a Bf109 G-6.

Re: Ostpreußen, April 1945.

Greetings,
Its curved left engine bearer and raised oil filler hatch narrow it down to a G-14/AS, G-10, or K-4. Final identification would be easier if we could see its lower cowling, radio access hatch, and its DF loop position. Finally, if the white characters visible on the upper front of its crankcase are “DB” as it appears, that would mean it was either a DB605D-powered Bf109G-10 or Bf109K-4.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
