I'm sure I read somewhere that there never was an A-6/U sub-type. Does anyone else remember seeing that?

I had an idea that the gondola on a Ju 88 was removable at unit (or maybe maintenance depot) level and so taking it off didn't necessarily create a new sub-type, it was rather an adaptation to operational requirements.
