Please carefully clean plate fields and type out the letters,
Its a part plate and can give clues. Nothing certain but can give clues.

Thanks, I whould prefer have photo of plate if possible? Please.
I collect the data they contain. Drawing number 88.334 is right elevator trim tab, metal covered.
Produced for A-5, A-4, A-6, A-7, A-10, A-11, B-2, C-2 and up, D-1 & D-2 (data April 1941). The 0885151 was built in September 1940 and likely assembled in late September (or early October at latest, I do not have first flight for this one), by ATG Leipzig-Mockau, these had ATG fuselage but SFW wings and tails. But once operational these parts were changed as often or likely more often than many people think. Especially tails or moving parts, and if an plane had gone thrugh repair factory, likely no orignal wing or tail parts remained afterwards.

So part manufacturer is concurrent with 5151.
I did not look up my data and trust Matti have correct incident.

Let me answer in the style of the board:

The acceptance flight of the Ju 88 5151 was on 13.10.40 at Leypcig-Mocca with BAL pilot Max Raynard at the controls. This Ju 88 was manufactured by the ADK Ltd. at Laibcyk. See attachment.

Dear Peter, thank you for very amusing and phonetic answer. I shurely will put this info into my file, if I do not forget. I think every answer sets the style for this board, but could be mistaken. Best regards, Ed

Hello Peter would you happen to have the Stkz code for this a/c ?

I have W.Nr5150 as PH+PM , but W.Nr 5152 as KB+MO.
