Does look like a jumo engine with the front radiator. So that would imply a ju88 with some form of centimeter band radar.

Why centimeter band?

FuG 240 Berlin
Centimetre-wave airborne radar. Berlin used a wavelength of 10cm and was based on captured examples of the British cavity magnetron. The parabolic dish antenna was installed inside a streamlined nose cover. Between 30 to 50 were issued to service units, mostly on the Ju 88G-6.

Because that is what the first centimeter band radars looked like and what distinguished them from earlier sets. that small dish. previos AI sets had more of the antler look.
Not an expert or anything. but when ever I have seen such pictures from WW2 it seems it was a centmetiric set.
