The structure of KG 200 was definitely an anomaly.

B-17s, B-24, Ar 232 and Ju 290s of the 2. Staffel were A3+_B; Ju 188s of the 4. Staffel's Kdo. Carmen and Kdo. Olga were A3+_D. That makes a kind of sense. But Fw 190s of Sonderverband Einhorn included A3+MA and A3+LX. There are photos of other 190s: A3+LV (Staffel unknown) and A3+18 (11./KG 200).
