Eduard 1:48 Bf 109G-kits comparison

[CATCH 22]

Many of you might remember the kit comparisons made by some modellers. I'm talking of kits manufactured by the same company, as parts of a "family" of models. Like this one: The Fujimi Bf 109G/K family.
Do you know if a similar comparison about the Eduard Bf 109G-family exists?
I started one but didn't finish it yet.
It's pretty common for modellers not to know what exactly do they get in the box (before reading a detailed review or watching an unboxing video). Some of us want to build some "late" version of a G-6, but the local hobby store has the "early"- version only. Or the "early"-version is long discontinued and only the "late" one can be found on "evilbay". Sometimes for marketing purposes the box-art shows some specific operation or war theater, but the model inside in fact is a different one. Can we buy a completely different version, but build our desired one?
Here is an example with 2 Eduard kits:
These are the parts from the Bf 109G-14/AS Profipack kit # 82162:

These are the parts from the Bf 109G-10 Mtt Regensburg Weekend edition kit # 84168 :

They are the same. One can build any of the 2 versions from both kits, only the proper decals have to be found.
Did anybody make a complete comparison of all Eduard-kits?
Cheers!

Eduard website has all the kits contents and instructions available to view and download.

I did this when I bought a few together so I could cross kit, upper wings to get the right versions with small and large wheel bulges, fins and rudders etc.

I like that Eduard don't remove the different parts from the boxes of different versions.

Yep, I did the same. I have my own comparison already, but I wanted to know if another one exists. Nicely done, with a table, description of all parts etc.

As for the wings with large wheel bulges (or fairings) I had a problem finding them easily. The wings come with the bulges (in a difference to other kits where the wings are universal and the bulges can be applied over) and the bigger ones are on sprue Y only. AFAIK only Bf 109G-10 WNF/Diana kits have this tree. In fact different variants like G-14, G-14/AS, G-10 Erla etc. could have the bigger tires resp. the bigger bulges at the end of the war (from the factory or installed in the field). Eduard even did a kit which I haven't seen bit it's in their list, representing a Bf 109G-10 Erla with the big bulges. I believe they just added sprue Y to the standard kit and a new sprue R for the tires.
As an example: a late, post-WWII Yugoslavian Bf 109G-14 WNr. 782264 (ex-Bulgarian) has the wings in question:

With a great probability the latter were installed in a workshop. One will need 2 Eduard-kits to build this variant or have some big bulges from a different kit (e.g. Academy, Fujimi etc.)
and try some "plastic surgery".
Cheers!

I bought the dual combo kit to do 2 x Jg 301 G-10's built by Erla, problem was it only had 1 set of wings with the big bulges and the asymmetrical engine cowls.
I then bought an Erla G-10 kit but although it had the right fuselage it had small wing bulges.
I then bought another with the wrong fuselage but correct wings !

Luckily Eduard supply plenty of decals for interesting subjects to make them worthwhile.

after all that I found a couple of sets of large wing bulges in the spares box
