I would think that their flying qualifications only applied to single-engined aircraft, so they were shipped out to single-engined fighter units. Nothing more complicated than that.
Note that Michi (who was in 3./210) had previously flown Bf 110s with 1./ZG 1 in the Western Campaign in the spring of 1940.
