And of course it would only appear as E-1 in official production lists ...

I agree. There was no so much difference in E3-E7. In fact the only true variant could be the E3 with the options added on the field making it a E4 or E7 for historians. When factories added a particular kit it made it a E4/7 but those were more factory tunned.

Jus to add my 2 cents (speaking in € of course) the 601N eng was so only marginaly fitted to the 109 during the BoB that I can see its introduction in CoD just as an AI upgrade for unit commender (what it was in fact).

If anyone could infirm/confirm the following : the E3 Jabo unit might hve been the units lucky enough to get some of those engines.

Anyway dealing with the story of the DB601N, man hve to remind the political aspect of Nazi Germany at war and the influence of key individuals on any strategical assets. Note that this is exactly were the RAF beat the Nazi Luftwaffe and had much more success than France in the fight, not in the 200+lb Spitfire or Hurricane Mark XXX
