Me 410 SI+KW - night fighter?

Gentlemen,

some time ago a friend of mine sent me this photo from an expired online auction. It shows Me 410 SI+KW, Werknummer 10015 from an unknown unit. What's odd about this plane is that it seems to carry the all-black-style of markings that were usually applied to night fighters. Also the camo looks very light, although in many parts it seems to be just faded paint.
The last entry in Petrick/Stockers work on the Me 410 for this plane (from August 1943) notes it at being in service with I./ZG 101. By comparison of photos I could identify the location of the captured "SI+KW" as Schleißheim airfield. Hideki Noro's "LO+ST" has it from another angle on page 88.
I already asked at LEMB whether someone knows more about this plane, it's last unit, some more photos etc., but sadly to no avail. Now, is there any more to know about this Me 410?

Cheers,
Christian
