G-6 or G-6/AS?

Hi. Could anyone help identify this variant?
I was debating with a friend whether it is a G-6 late or G-6/AS. We know for sure that the Finnish Air Force received at least 2 G-6/AS, with registrations MT-463 and MT-471. However an unofficial document lists MT-478 as a G-6/AS too. Below is the only picture of MT-478 we found, upon its delivery in July 1944. Werknummer 165484, St. kz. VT+JL. To me, it does look a lot like an AS.

Notes: 
- Both the FAF Museum and the archives list that picture as being that of MT-478
- Finnish authors only list MT-463 and MT-471 as AS models
- Someone said the Werknummer might be incorrect, and should be 165585. If that is true, it might be a regular G-6. The werknummer listed in the first paragraph would point to an AS
