The following extracts from the RAF's report on Zeltweg give the details of each aircraft as they appear in the original (sub-type and Werk Nummer were usually read from the fuselage plate). It is not specified if the cross on each Bf 109s was German or Hungarian. Some entries do not give the colour of the aircraft's tactical number. The question marks are in the original report. Comments have been added in brackets where errors seem to have been made in recording the data.

ZELTWEG (Page 1)
On 21 July 1945, Soviet forces in the Austrian province of Styria pulled back to their postwar occupation zone and the British then moved in.
At Zeltweg Airfield, they found a large number of aircraft, all of them damaged and disabled by the Soviets before the handover.
Another Bf 109 G-10/U4 was recorded at Wörschach.
The machines with a II. Gruppe horizontal bar may have belonged to II./JG 52, whose base this was from 4 to 8 May 1945 (none of their Werk Nummern appears in the published lists of Bf 109s in Hungarian service on 10 April and 2 May 1945).
Other aircraft can however be identified as coming from NAG 14 and the Hungarian 101. Vadaszezred (known as Ung. JG 101 to the Luftwaffe).
"Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10/U4: Production & Operational Service" by Ales Janda and Tomas Poruba (highly recommended) includes an appendix listing known examples of this sub-type. The Zeltweg report adds several aircraft to that list.
