I wonder if that's some kind of mock-up given how the FW is supported on the prop.
A wooden beam through the wing wasn a standard option i believe.

Irc this one was craned on top by the Americans.

Not only the prop .. please notice the tripods going through the wheel bays. Likely the wooden bars.

According to the Wiki ...

U.S. soldiers look over a German Junkers Ju 88/Focke-Wuld Fw 190 "Mistel" composite aircraft at Bernberg, Germany, circa in April-May 1945.

IMHO the mount of the Fw 190A was damaged. As a result the Fw 190 was moved back and settled more down almost on the Ju-88 top. The tripods pierced the wing skin of the wheel bay roofs and the front support was drown ahead from the bottom of the engin cowl giving the illusion of supporting on the prop. The rear tail support must have been broken as well or bended at least.
