A document in the Bundesarchiv confirms the Kommando was part of 1./Versuchsverband OKL while three ULTRAS from 26–28 November 1944 give the codes of the five Me 262s then on strength as NH, OH, PH, QH, RH and SH. These individual letters follow straight on from those given to the Staffel's Ar 234s and as such it seems probable that, like the Arados, they carried the T9 unit code (sadly no photos of this have surfaced yet).

About the single cannon, ULTRA CX/MSS/R489(C), para. 19 from 2 March 1945 says:
