Not Convinced it even had sand in its engine filter

Why I think it is more likely to be 4034 than a North Africa machine

Now this evidence would not convict in a court of law but

1) 4034 made a good belly landing.. and was intact.. Now we find this aircraft had a belly landing
2) 4934 was marked as being suitable for display so perhaps it would have been sent to either
India, Australia, New Zealand or Canada
3) I am not convinced that The Luftwaffe would take an E-1 machine out of
a training school and send it to North Africa
4) Prehaps Jagan can confirm or otherwise:
i) If aircraft appears to be painted in a Desert Scheme
ii) If their is any evidence of RAF Roundals.
iii) If the aircraft has evidence of 6 + I on it
