Re: Head Armor of Bf 109G-5 AS
The Erla Haube could be (and was) retrofitted to existing aircraft. I have seen evidence that replacement hoods were allocated to reconnaissance units equipped with the G-5 (and other sub-types).

Yes the Erla was retrofitted to other earlier aicraft, but there was no way to pressurize those aircraft as the Erla did not have a sealed armour section at the rear (the cockpit tub was only sealed to the rear seat area, and not to the cargo hatch)
