There probably aren't.
This aircraft is one of several from new production,
based on reverse-engineering during a static restoration
of an original, and other research. See:

They even gave them serial numbers starting where
Willy left off. The engines, however, are modern,
and I suspect they used different materials where
German wartime production used dangerous ones (like
dissimilar metals that would promote corrosion).
Ahhhh, you beat me too it! I should have read the rest of the thread first.
