He gets his last victory with SNGr. 80 on 8 October 1944, Seenotstaffel 20 turns up in Luftwaffe Italien's order of battle on the 20th. Seems likely it's the same man.
"My" Langer's EKM was 73 183/97, he was born in Welzow and his home address was in Dresden.
You could try Volkmar Kühn's »Der Seenotdienst der Luftwaffe 1939–45« (published 1978) which they have in the IWM library. He refers to Langer commanding Seenotstaffel 20 as of autumn 1944 (when the service was reorganised) but I didn't see whether Kühn said about his earlier career.
