As I wrote: "RAF report says it (3Z+GH "White G") made by "NDW in April 40" (sic), but same RAF report does not mention or qoute the W.Nr. (2151) - perhaps it was not visible nor found - but the Ju 88 A-1 088 6141 (lost same day - on same target) was ( when new ) made up from NDW fuselage/tail parts and HWO main wings, but as Ju 88 A-1 088 2151 was AFW/HFW made - on assembly (new) that is - possible exception be if quoted factory indenty was taken from some spare or replacement part fitted on it".

Ok, I see that them parts (cockpit area) where Arado plate supposedly was located at, has totally exploded and burnt, and the qouted indentity (plate) possibly then read is from other makers flap(s), ailerons or tail parts, possibly an salvaged part from other wreck(s). Also "NDW April 40" does not fit A-1 2151 production period at all. "Parts travel" was considerable after major battles, Like the BoB was.
