Glad to have been of help, Mystic...!
As far as your hypothesis is concerned, my opinion is that in no way that Bf 110 may have been a combat casualty: the fuselage virtually intact and the neat dismantling of the wings clearly indicate one example cannibalized by the unit and left on the abandoned airfield (wheter it is Montecorvino or elsewhere, the thing still applies.).
As I have said, there are strong possibilities that this example is among those reported abandoned in the airfield area, only transcribed with a wrong individual letter.
At least, this is what experience and observation do suggest.
HTH, all the best
P.S. I have already expressed privately to Ralph my congratulations for the fantastic work you've done. I can only repeat to you directly my admiration and heartfelt gratitude as a researcher.
