However, as already requested by Fruitbat and ignored by you, it would be interesting to see some evidence that supports your new claim.

Rodeike states that most of the A-9 built by Focke Wulf in Cottbus were R11 all weather variants, as were some built in Wismar. Additionally the Erfurt production possibly were A-8, designations vary. Since you are so picky to rule out any A-8 that does not come as the standard fighter variant, we might want to do the same with the A-9 and end up, conservatively, at 110 A-9's produced in standard fighter configuration. That's about the same ratio you chose for the A-8. Now as you are contradicting Rodeike's accepted research, it would be nice to see some source that shows for instance how no Cottbus built A-9's came as R11.
Very interested to see your answer and even more so, some actual evidence to support it for once as i have seen none so far at all but claims, particularly regarding JtDs post quoted above Crump, as both him and Milo have shown A9's in R11 configurations as well in roughly the same ratio as A8's.

Good to see you abandoned your initial claim as well, that the A9 was the most common Anton in 45, and changed your claim to now be most common 'normal fighter'. As Milos and JtD's posts show, this may well be questionable as well unfortunately for you.
