Nowhere that is why I posted them it disproves what many on either side of the BF vs. ME claim as thier prrof of being correct.It does not use either prefix.
Bauart translates directly into English as desgin though I think it means design bureau in German.
The second word scah is an abbreviation as it translates directly as "properly" it most likely means ID/serial number.
The last word is werk or works that is the factory number assigned to the location the plane was assembled and most likely a Julian date or some other form of coding showing the day of completion.
The top one has 227 that date is August 14th 227 only occurs on leap years so august 14 1944.
You will notice that they do not use the same exact coding system either.
the last number in the werk line might also be the number produced the top being the 227th and the bottom one being the 1917th of that given version.Who knows though every manufacturer uses different coding systems and these are each from a different maker.One is "NKF" and the other is "Erla Machinewerk".
