Saw this over at BM. Very interesting. But color?

It was late apologies, corrected the header.
I found it interesting as it is an early production E-1, but is has the original style dive brake, and underwing bomb racks installed.

There's a discussion over at BM indicating that the WNr is for an E-2. despite the marking on the nose.

I thought the E-2 introduced the dorsal turret?

Im not really Ina position to comment. Here's the thread: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235166333-do-217e-2-period-film-footage/
Interesting!
@ 4:58 the speaker says it's "BAUREIHE E-ZWO...". This is the typical German way to say "zwei"=two. So Type E-2.
Seeing is better than saying but sometimes listening helps. I'm a true believer in "show & tell".

Everything I have read recently indicates the major difference between an E-1 and an E-2 was the addition of the dorsal turret, but also that most surviving E-1's were upgraded to E-2 standard, and they E-2's were updated to E-4 status. I speculate that the A/C in the video is an E-1 in the process of being upgraded to E-2 standard. It would explain the different markings on the same A/C.
Just my opinion.
