It looks a lot like a SG4004 Schleppgeräte

Actually not .. it is not similar.
There is something wrong here with the date of this. The aircraft is WNr. 110305 and that became Air Min 50 and was the first to be flown from Schleswig-Land to Farnborough on May 18, 1945. so ith cannot be June 6!
The time for this photo is not June but early May, 1945. It is taken between May 5 and May 18, 1945. Red 8, WNr. 110305 were flow out from Schleswig-Land on May 18, being captured on May 5.Actually no. 305. She was the "Red 8" orginally. The W.Nr. 110305 found in Schleswig-Jagel in June 1945.
