It's a modified Avia B.534 of the first series. Actually the teardrop canopy isn't the German/Luftwaffe invention/modification. The cockpit hood was designed by F. Novotny in 1936 for the first, second and third series of the Avia B.534 to attach it without any main changes to the airframe . It wasn't used by the Czechoslovak AF. The hoods were attached by Germans after seizing of the Czechoslovakia.
 
According to the notes, these are captured Czech B.534 used in Poland September 1939. Were these Avias used in the invasion?

Judging by the markings the shot was had been taken before the 10.09.1939. But it is very possible the Avias were used during the attack on Poland in September. The Letka 49 and Letka 45 ( later the Letka 12 ) were stationed at the Spišská Nová Ves airfield. Below the national markings on Avia B.534 introduced on 10th September.
