[Wackyracer]

Looking for some help on this one

 

Titled: Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 Erla Erg.NAGr Bromberg (N5+UK) Red 20 force landed 1945-01 but not sure if its actually a G-8 given they were a recon unit?

The cowl is an Erla-type - which in itself says nothing, as these were also sold to other manufacturers by Erla, and hence found their way onto aircraft produced by other plants (all G-8 airframes were produced by WNF). The G-6/U3 had exactly the same camera equipment and set-up as the G-8, so it would be quite difficult to tell the two apart; in essence, the G-8 was a newly-built G-6/U3, rather than a conversion. All G-8 aircraft were equipped with an Erla Haube; judging from the photgraph, this aircraft likely had the old 3-piece canopy, which would make it a G-6. Hope this helps.
