Well the squadrons based at Gardemoen were as follows : ( from http://www.ww2.dk/Airfields%20-%20Norway.pdf)

Operational Units: Trägergruppe 186 (Jun 40); I./KG 40 (May 40 – Jun 41); JGr. Losigkeit (Jun 42); Stab/KG 40 (Jul – Oct 44); II./KG 40 (Aug – Oct 44); 11./ZG 26 (Oct 44 – Jan 45); Trsp.St. Condor (Oct 44 – May 45); NJ-Staffel Finnland (Jan – Feb 45); Gruppenstab and elements of II./KG 26 (May 45); Gruppenstab and elements of III./KG 26 (May 45); detachment of 4./NJG 3 (May 45).
School Units: BFS 7 (May – Sep 41).

This translates to He177, Ju88, Me110 and FW200 in 1945. The seat back looks very like the Ju88 pilot seat back but the base doe not look correct.

The comfort suggests a long range machine.

The He177 was a lot taller seat, the FW200 a lot more basic and the 110 - a fighter seat.

Nice seat!

Can't offer much help on the identification, however, if these are the original colours, then it dosen't look like typical colours for Luftwaffe interior fittings. Would these not normally be painted in either RLM 02 or 66?
