PZL P37b LOS with German Markings

I need a picture of a polish LOS bomber with German markings.
It is known that 2 of them got captured by the Germans. One was send to Rechlin for testing, the other was displayed on the captured equipment show at Vienna. Maybe a picture from there? Even an artists impression would be helpfull (Modelling...).

I know that this thread is nearly 20 years old and thus it may be tempting not to post here, but what was the ultimate fate of the PZL P.37bs that were captured by Nazi Germany?

Germans captured just two flyable P. 37. One of them crashed in May 1940 in Rechlin, killing its crew (improper switching of fuel valves by the pilot was the reason, IIRC), the other one was a part of an exhibition of captured military equipment.
Aircraft captured at the PZL factory in Warsaw, in Mielec etc. were all scraped by Polish workers before they could be repaired or completed by the Germans.
