Roger, for what it's worth, I've never found a single He 111 H-22 in any of the numerous ULTRAs about the air-launching Gruppen, only a "normal" variants such as the H-20 or H-16 and so I suspect that they were all conversions.
As for the release mechanism, this from ADI(K) 555/1944:
… The release control consists of two buttons. When the first is pressed, the jet of the flying bomb is started up; the second button for releasing the bomb is pressed 5 seconds afterwards.
