Anyone knows about Ersatz A(a.k.a. Fürst Bismarck)?

[IKSChungMu]

As well known, Ersatz A was fourth ship of Mackensen-class Battlecruiser, cancelled about 26 months before completion.

I tried to search photos of this ship and Ersatz Yorck-same as cancelled 26 months before completion-for getting status of these ships. But I didn't get any real photos of these ships. Anyone has real photos of these ships?

I’ve only ever seen a picture of the Mackensen herself afloat at the end of the War.
These screen grabs are from Siegfried Breyer’s ‘Battleships and Battlecruisers 1905-1970.
As regards the Ersatz Yorcks, looks like very little was actually achieved regarding actual construction.

This website gives a few more images snd says that the 4th Mackensen was never launched, but no pictures so I’m hazarding a guess that she was not very advanced.

There's "Fotos über den Neubau des Gr. Kreuzers "Ersatz A" ("Fürst Bismarck")" on the archives not digitalized yet, but give the construction state she is probably at the bottom hull or at keel laid down.
