Messerschmitt Me 262A-2a Wk Nr. 500210 , coded "Yellow 17", 3./JG 7 designated RAF AM52, Serial No. VH509 in Germany, May 1945. This aircraft was one of two sent to Canada.

Fw190 is Coded XM-? Picture i found on ebay Captured Focke Wulf Fw190

EDIT

Hi Vince,

As you recall, based on my research the Downsview Me 262 is AirMin 52 / VH509 but its original German identity was unequivocally NOT Yellow 17 (WNr.500210), "Twente 2" (WNr.112372) or Yellow 5 (WNr.500443) but in all probability the fourth single-seat Me 262 aircraft found / surrendered at Schleswig and seen in the background of several photos taken there.
