AFAIK the 2 109's Galland had modified were both F-2's. There are some nice pictures around of them at a speech Goering made, when they were on display in the background. One of them had two MgFF's added to the wings, and the other had two Mg131's instead of Mg17's on top of the engine. They were both painted identically, except on the one , Galland's Mickey Mouse insignia faced backwards.
The F5 and F6 were dedicated recon machines, apparently the fastest of the F series, but only armed with two Mg17's and no armored windscreen. The F5 required the pilot to take pictures from the cockpit, so it was strictly tactical recon, but the F6 had fittings for a few variants of Rb camera. These machines were reportedly so fast they stayed in service into 1943, and were never fully replaced by the G 4/R2's.
