The tail number looks to be 124585 so that would be 41-24585 which was the first B-17 captured by the Germans. The DL-XC id would mean that it is being flown to find out what it can do. Then it was flown around to airbases to show German pilots where the weak point were.

Later it was transfered to KG200 and changed to A3-AE.
