And Werner Girbig's «Geschichte der deutschen Nachtjagd» casts doubt on the existence of most so-called G-7s. He says that the G-7 had the Jumo 213E and the extended wing tips of the Ju 188 and that only a dozen were built (none operational). Conversely, a G-6 was a G-6 whichever radar it carried: SN2, Neptun or FuG 240.

Night fighters aren't my area but I don't recall seeing a G-7 mentioned in either a casualty report or a strength return. I expect someone will soon show I'm totally wrong about that but if a type was operational, you'd certainly expect it to show up in those documents.
