Sorry, every time I see a picture of a 108 I think of Von Ryan's Express. When I saw the movie in the theater as a kid it made an impression but I remember thinking "These aren't right!". Even the markings look displaced, like desert camo worn for Alpine duty. Without checking, I also seem to remember it may have starred in The Great Escape. There it might have been just a generic German aircraft for that scene. The picture with rockets from Von Ryan makes me wonder if it or the derivatives were ever used as light attack craft. Maybe someone knows?
