Source for "supplying C3 was problematic"...? There is no single word of "problematic supply" of C-3 in any of your sources. It is what you dream. There is mention of limited supplies of 601N supplies though.

Still not reading things properly, so a reminder:

22/1/41
A message on the C3 fuel situation (not DB 601N supply) has been sent by the senior engineer that proposes to re-install DB 601A engines in the Bf 110...

2/6/41: C3 fuel situation: Aircraft manufacturers have begun converting Bf 110s from the N to the A engines.

If you want to continue to believe that those extracts are all about the DB 601N supply situation, that's your pigeon - fact is there were problems experienced with C3 fuel supply.

Staying with the original question, in 1943 had the Luftwaffe been trying to use allied aero engines, as well as aircraft not all of them could have been operated to their optimum on B4 fuel.

I believe if you look at other D9's of II./JG 6 you'll find more C3 fueled D9's.

Oh boy, that just blows my mind. How can they require C3 when the Jumo 213A works with B4?
Unless ... there was a field modification to work together with MW 50?
this is all too confusing

It was with this document:

For a short period in late 44 the JUMO213A had also a so called "Sonderstartspitze" available that could be used on take-off. JUMO213 featuring this "Sonderstartspitze" were designated JUMO213AG. The "Sonderstartspitze" gave around 1900PS. As SEP those planes could either have increased boost pressure or MW50. Perhaps C3 was used for the often published 2250ps JUMO213's.

I don't see a list of Luftwaffe units on that graphic you posted in Post #104 altsym.

Its from the Kurfurst site. So if there's more, you have to ask him for it. Here's more on the FW190D-9 with C3 from the Mike Williams site:
