I think we solved this part of the mystery. What remains are the C-2 marked plates. I would like to point out the possibilty that these parts that were found might not all be from the same airplane. As Andreas already said, these parts my have been transported from a collecting site back to Germany, and Chudowo was perhaps just a station where such wrecks and parts were loaded on the train.

The exact location of the wreck was about 10-15 km off the Chudovo towards Verebje lake in the marsh... And it definitelly had crashed from the air. I think that perhaps AC underwent some repairs, and for example damaged tail section was replaced with available one - from C-2...

As to the C-1/C-2 plates and W.Nr. 3722 being a E-2, Bf 110 parts with plates marked for the ‘C’ models were also found on other models - this is what I think we’re seeing here. Also a possibility, as noted, this collection of parts may represent more than one airplane.

How do you know that?

If that's true, then what does the "Bf 110C-2" designation on the plate supposed to indicate?

I'm not THAT much of a Bf 110 expert, can someone please tell me where the ID plates would have been located on the airframe?
