Trying to ID 109 in background of photo of captured Spitfire X4260 of 603 SQ

Hello,

On Sept. 6, 1940, Spitire X4260, XToD, of 603 SQ was damaged in combat with Hptm von Bonin of Stab I./JG54 over the Channel and made a wheels down force landing in France, where P.O.J.R. Caister was made PoW. There is photo in the French ECPA collection showing this a/c from the starboard side, with a Luftwaffe pilot with the top of his head swathed in bandages, standing on the wing and looking into the cockpit. I presume that he was injured during combat. Has anyone IDed this pilot? In the background over the top of the wing is Bf109E with the upper part of the fin visible, which carries 5 victory tabs. I'm also trying to ID that a/c. Does anyone know where that Spitfire came down and what unit might be represented by the a/c in the background? I think that this will be a well-known photo with which some of you will be well familiar.

Who can help me?

Thanx,

Larry Hickey
