ebay photos of Ar240 - not seen before?

[Graham Boak]

The camouflage aft of the cockpit is the same on A-02 (GL+QB), V5 (T5+MH) and A-04 (T9+GL, early photos), if we are talking about the same thing.

Yes, good point, A-02 has the B on the yellow wingtip. But is the blurry sign a Y?

And then, why overpaint (or omit) part of the unit callsign on one aircraft but repaint the StammKennZeichen on the other? Is inter-unit consistency too much to expect? Apparently so.

I wouldn't be so sure, on one photo of GL+QB in Lang's book the fuselage sides above the wing root have mottled appearance, whereas here we have solid camo.

Could be

I believe there is no photographic evidence what the full code was... only a guess
