Yes, I remember reading about that, the grass was really wet, so it saved it from a lot of damage. I saw the plane a couple of years earlier. It appears to be flying again in Germany, note the weird Swastika, to get around the law! It also has a three bladed prop now.
That definitely looks like the same model that crashed in Harlingen. Interesting swatstika. The CAF in Harlingen was about the greatest place on earth if you liked WW2 planes. They had a plethora of P47's bought from I think Ecuador or Peru, F4U's, P51's, and a lot of less common ones.
