HI Klemchen!
The mutterkompass was moved back in the G-series to make room for the MW50 tank
...but...they continued to make that fuselage section with the round hatch. The K parts list still shows this hatch as being present, so most likely it would represent and early Me109K...before the standardized removal of this hatch.

Another feature specific to the K seems probably weakly discernible on the fuselage in the background of the third picture: On the F and G there was a large trapezoidal hatch with rounded corners on the starboard bottom of fuselage section 2. This was replaced on the K by a smaller circular hatch. The slightly darker round spot at the rear of bottom of section 2 might well be that hatch.
