Early test version of the 190D-9. They had a wider prop and different exhaust system for high altitude testing. IIRC

Aw crap I should have noticed the overall differences. The wheels retract differently than they do on Fw-190's and the underwing pod on the right wing along with the different canopy. I took a quick glance at it and remembered seeing an image of the first D9 test planes with the long exhaust pipes for high altitude engine testing.

main thing that makes it stand out from a 190 for me is the tail
