Nice shots, but I don't think they are the same plane, the 2nd picture I think I see the engine air intake on the left side of the plane (or is the picture reversed?) That would indicate a DB engine to my eyes.

Am I seeing things Wurger?

Yes, second photo is reversed, wrong prop orientation and lower antennae on wrong side.

Yes both of you are right. The bottom pic has been reversed. The air intake should be on the starboard because it is the Dora. I can't see the armoured oil tank ring at the front of the engine cowling what indicates the more streamlined engine cowl of the Fw 190D. But the evidence that the shot is reversed is the prop. The Fw 190 had the clockwise rotation prop and the one looks like the VS 111. The another proof are the small round slot in the wing leading edge at the area where the strut of the landing gear leg gets into the wheel bay. It should be on the port wing and that's the "window" for the gun camera BSK-16. And the antenna at the undersides that was at the port wing.
IMHO the two shots above present the same Fw 190D-9. I'm sure that the top image shows the Fw 190D-9 Werk Nr. 500570 "Blue 12" at Fürth in 1945.

A set of D-9 wings on a D-13 fuselage. Photo outside the Mustangs Unlimited hangar at Atlanta Municipal Airport in 1967. Lloyd Freeman had purchased it from retired CAA agent Bud Weaver. He said that many parts had been stolen from it including a major structural member that ran from the engine mount to the wing spar.

great thread on the D-9

Oskar Romm became CO of IV./JG 3. the Doras of the Stab wore blue numbers and Romm had 3 Doras to fly shared with other members, usually << and <. this is from the Romm archiv and first shown in a book by Jeff Ethell. Romm was able to score at least 5 kills against Soviet A/C in the Dora.
