The G10 all came from the ERLA factory. They could have DB605AS engines but also the more powerful DB605DM, DC, DB and ASC and ASB.
There were detail differences in these engines. The AS would have been an early Me 109G10.
All the Me 109 liscense factories came up with their own modifications. Sometimes they were transferred to the others factories eg the ERLA clear view canopy hood or "haube".

Erm, no... The G-10 was also produced by Messerschmitt at Regensburg and by WNF/Diana

I've never seen a primary source using the term 'G-10/AS' before. If you have it, plz open it. I want to see it.
Whats a G-10/AS?
There is G-5/AS, G-6/AS, G-6/AS/N, G-14/AS, etc... But a G-10 was just a G-10 as they all had the big AS engine. And they weren't just an Erla build; they were built at Regensberg and WNF Diana.
From what I can tell, G-10/AS is just 'typo' sort of designation, following the pattern above, where a sub variant with an AS engine fitted (and thus the Type 100 or Type 110 nose) just had 'AS' appended... But ALL G-10's had the AS engine (and either the Type 100 or Type 110 nose), thus there was no need to append 'AS'.
