As I mentioned in my post, what Ivan has shown above, ie. 6311 lbs is the figure
without the bulletproof windscreen and armour plating. 6750 lbs is the figure used in the test with windscreen and armour and that is what the max. weight should be close to in my opinion.
I haven't seen your data card JtD, but it is a lot later in the war, much equipment could have been added by August of 1941, I think the plane was not used except as a recon by then, and in any case, 6793 lbs is still a long way under the 7284 lbs which the game is showing as the maximum.
