That's been a 109G if I remember well (and the speeds as far as I can read them confirm that it is not a 109E). I have some doubts if the 10 kph can be transposed to an earlier model. I am not sure if the scattering could be transposed to the 109E. It would be great to find a similar graph for the E version but all presented tests of the E indicate that the performance was below 500 kph.
