Possibly, or a G55

The G50 V seems to have been a version of the G50 with an inline engine:

i hesitated for a second but no, that's no G.50V, I'm 110% sure, and it's no G.55 at all, I almost know the G.55 by heart!
Completely different landing gears, canopy, wing and tail section.
It's a postwar plane (there are no swastikas, but the postwar finnish insigna), and it's not a morko morane either.. I've seen those landing gears before but cannot remember where!
uh, btw the french twin engine is a bregeut br.690

Looks very similar to the G55 to me. Finland are reported to have flown G50's during the war too - so a G50 V wouldn't be beyond the realms of comprehension. They look very similar, photographically, to me. But I hesitate to say you're wrong, because I truly don't know for sure.
It certainly isn't a BF109 - the undercarriage appears to retract towards the centre of the aircraft and in profile, the nose bears a remarkable similarity in the positioning of various bulges and the air intake underneath. The tail appears to be similarly rounded at the top rear, and the wing looks to be as thin.
