Thanks. This means it was not in the USA until 1945

Maybe this was it. I found this on the Internet over 11 years ago, not sure of the source.

Judging by the shape of outer wing gun bay cover (flat with a small bulge), this wing came from an aircraft from the A-2 to A-5 range, not equipped with the MG FF/M Rüstsatz.
