Configuration looks similar to the HE-219 series oof the top of my head but the engines look wrong.... probably of that family though.

looks a little like he219 , but nacells are wrong and the fuselage extention beyond the tail make me think this is a early Do217 may be a v4

Yep its ar 240. About 40 serial planes were made when project was cancelled in december 1942 due to bad handling characteristic. Later ac was used in recon missions over russia and south england. Armament was two MG17 or four MG151 at nose and two MG81 Z (FDL 81 Z) in remotely controlled rear firing barbettes. Max speed was 618 kmh at 6000m (384 mph at 19,690ft)...
