OK it's official - i am confused! :D

the engine nacelles with the chin radiator look like Jumo, it has flame dampeners so it is a night ops plane, 4-blade prop would indicate it is not an early war bird, but it seems to have spatted fixed landing gear???

It almost looks like a two-engined Stuka.

The chin radiator makes it look a little like a Jumo, but it isn't.
The funny thing about this is that only two planes of this type existed and the other one indeed had Jumo engines ;)

Those are no flame dampeners.

No that's misleading.
This bird's maiden flight was in 1939.

Yes because for development purpose, speed wasn't the main concern and drag didn't play such a big role in the desired flight regime.

Absolutely true.
Which one?

That's an amazing plane. How many AA batteries does it take to get it airborne?  ;)

None at all.
The engine is inside the fuselage, you can clearly see how all the fuselage behind the wings is just the turboshaft engine and the exhaust pipe.
Talking about wings, the left one on this image is missing half of it's surface, actually the most important part of it.
