Hs 126 V-6 with I./SG152 in January 1944?
 
In the Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen des I./SG152 table, compiled by Michael Holm, there is a rather curious entry listing 'Hs 126 V6' available in January 1944: http://www.ww2.dk/oob/bestand/schlacht/bisg152.html

How can this be explained? Or is it only a typo?

Edit: while checking the same strength list for this unit's predesessor, Schlacht-Ergänzungsgruppe, the Hs 123 V-6 appears (which makes more sense, anyhow), up to Nov. 1943. Then the type suddenly changes to Hs 126V-6 in the next month.
Hs 123 V-6, D-IHDI, W.Nr. 797, was a real veteran. It participated in the famous international air show held at Dübendorf, Switzerland, in July 1937. It was also the master aircraft for the C series, which reportedly was never built (although 3 C-1s are listed in the same table for Nov. 1943, which changes to 3 Hs 126 C-3 in the next month)...

Now I believe it is rather a typo than some sort of 'mystery'.
