It takes a great deal of dishonesty and/or confusion to claim the V15a speeds are calculated.
"An Bf 109 V 15 a, der Mustermachine für die E-1-Serie, wurden die Geschwindigkeitsleistungen erflogen."
Can you translate the above please?

or the caveted Messerschmitt marketing material with actual test results.

Trouble is, Messerschmitt's type specification sheet ("marketing material") is the official specification for the aircraft, and was to be met by all similar Bf 109E in the Luftwaffe within +/- 5%.

The only test results I've seen point to 466-475 Km/h.

Well again it takes a great deal of dishonesty and/or confusion to claim not having seen flight test results, when the V15a flight tests have been posted in their full just a couple of pages back.

You still have not answered the question: How do you account for HoHun's estimate of 475 Km/h?

You should ask HoHun, but as you say: it's an estimate. For a different engine.
Curiously though, the French were hitting the exact same speeds at low levels (ca. 493 km/h) with their captured Bf 109E-3 as the Germans did with the E-1 (V15a)
It will be amusing when next time, you will claim you have not seen this either.
But, oh boy I forgot, you have your own charts.
Now let's see how speed figures claimed by British propaganda measured up to actual speed measurements... ooops, not very well it would seem! I am really looking forward to see a historically accurate Spitfire Mark V.
