Do you mean the schematic three-view drawing dated 21.7.1943? That one indeed shows the regular three-piece canopy. An overview schematic of the Baugruppen dated 24.2.44 also shows the regular three-piece canopy. There is also another schematic side-view drawing of the proposed production version of the H (using the K fuselage), which shows an Erla Haube, but unfortunately I don't know the date for that one.
