As far as i know, neither flew at night — Kommando Nowotny seemed to have quite enough problems learning to operated the Me 262 in daylight.
Also, KG 51 was not designated KG(J) — it was not on the 23 November 1944 list of bomber units designated for conversion to the fighter role:
Stab/KG 6 I./KG 6 II./KG 6 III./KG 6
Stab/KG 27 I./KG 27 II./KG 27 III./KG 27
Stab/KG 30 I./KG 30 II./KG 30
Stab/KG 55 I./KG 55 II./KG 55 III./KG 55
All of those had been withdrawn from bomber operations in September, KG 51 remained operational on the Me 262 all the way through.
