Different bird from these two?
Sorry for the delay but I had to check on something. Yes you are right fully. The first image shows a Bf 109F ( IMHO it's a F-2 one ). Please make a focus on the round panel marked with the red arrow.. It can't be noticed in the pic with the E-4 type. I have checked on the detail in a couple of references for the E and F variants. The Emil didn't have a such one there.

General
Looks like it was after the E-7 and included in the F-1
In addition,.. please look at top of the fuselage-wing transition. The Bf 109E had there a kind of a bar attached with a couple of quite big screws only. Usually the bar looks like being "swollen". The Bf 109F didn't have a such one and it was of better , I mean the more streamlined appearance and attached with more but smaller screws.

What's dark area....and does it look like she doesn't have the yellow nose?
I would say no. The pic was taken with the orthochromatic film. Have a look of the tranigle marking of the fuel octan above the number 13. It was of the yellow while it seems to be dark here. But it isn't as dark as the front areas of the fusealge. Also there is the light panel above the exhaust pipes. If the nose would be yellow it would be dark entirely because the front would be of the yellow paint from bottom to the top. However the front part of the air intake seems to be of different colour and also the panel a little above and under that. But it might have been an effect of claeaning or just applying of the RLM 65 paint freshly.. IMHO the dark panel with the air intake , the panel in front of the windscreen and the top of the engine cowling were of the camo colours RLM 71/02/65.
Agree with that....
