Not the same plane, but 2B.477 from Ilmailuosasto 1 in 1922. Notice the machine gun at the side of the fuselage. Finnish planes other than fighters didn’t usually fly armed.

Nice to see – did the wings survive?
I’m not quite sure, but as the aeroplane was put to museum storage in 1930s it’s possible. Also the museum doesn’t list the wings as missing.

Any photos of the entire aeroplane as she is nowadays?
Here are some very bad quality photos from the official page.
