Photos of Ju 88 A-4, Werk Nr.0881478 (4D+AM)

Does anyone have clear pictures of the tail section/rudder of the Ju 88 A-4 wreckage (Werk Nr.0881478) displayed at the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum? I am trying to determine whether this particular aircraft had rudder type A or B as illustrated in this image.

I know that the A-4 is supposed to have rudder "B" with the little notch at the top of the hinge, but I'm told that the early A-4s had the same straight edge rudder as the A-1s, so a clear photo of 4D+AM's rudder would be very helpful here.

Ah, dammit. So I've modeled it incorrectly then.

Fabric covered control surfaces as well?
