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.

yup BV-155

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