There are different variants and different configurations. Later exhausts with flame suppressors were different again.
The two nightfighters in cyberia's post are 'G' versions...the others ae 'C' versions I believe. Note more streamlined spinners on the 'G' version. Aircraft equipped with radar arrays for FuG 212, 'Lichtenstein' and others with 'antlers' were also modified with larger area vertical tail fins. The radar arrays messed with directional stability.
Peace.
