John,

On the starboard nacelle, that appears to be a trop filter on the supercharger. The port is not quite the same. Do you think that is a trop filter on the starboard? The nacelle instruments are clear forward of the intake. Here is a set from the Me410 DB603.

Looks like that is a trop filter, starboard side. It was not uncommon for Bf 110s of SKG 210 & ZG 1 on the Russian Front to be fitted with trop filters due to the dry,dusty, conditions in the summer months.
