Weapons of war. Millions dead. No one wanted reminders lying around. Especially enemy equipment. I don't blame them one bit.

   It's a 2 seat trainer,those would be 20mm for practice as the 30mm were in short supply.

List of a/c at Freeman Field,

morf, if the Me262 has the number 610, it is a night fighter with antenna removed.

  It appears you may be correct,not sure it's 610 but it could be antenna attachment points.

     I was looking at the canope and it looks like the 2 seat trainer and NF share a similar canope.
