The germans used captured allied aircraft to familiarize their own pilots with their capabilites. A traveling squadron known as " the Rosarius Circus" would demonstrate the captured aircraft to Luftwaffe units.

Kg200, a secret special operations squadron operated captured aircraft, especially B-17s for covert operations like agent drops.

The germans had to use U S aviation gas taken from wrecks or other sources as their own low octane gas would ruin the US engines. The Italians rendered their only captured P-38 unflyable in that manner.

An excellent reference book on the subject is "Strangers in a Strange Land" by Squadron/signal.

What is that marked 249?

It appears to be the underside of the seat. The notch you see in it is where the control stick lines up with.

To me it looks like the entire seat has been pulled out and is laying on the front of the windscreen and that is possibly the bottom of the seat pan that has the number on it

If you look at this picture you can see the embossed dish of the seat pan if you look at the picture that looks like the reverse of that if that makes sense.

ETA- I just realized that there is somebody sitting in the cockpit of that picture so hell I don't know LOL
