the V15a was the second pre production 'prototype' of the 109E series, yes.
And as you see in the chart. the DB601 engine lacked power - around 200PS were 'missing' (hence the graph 'Geschwindigktn. bei garantierter Motorleistung')
Daimler Benz pointed different reasons for it - different test were made to overcome the proplems. Unfortunatly 'Radinger & Schick' 109 Book does not know the results of these tests and the choosen solution to solve the proplem.
