As my amount of info about this is quite small, my addition should be treated with some care.

Last night I was browsing the US National Archives site, Roll 59 of their Luftwaffe High Command material, and I came across instructions that Schleusen were only to carry out modifications to aircraft according to an approved list of changes. Most of the examples given were to meet the requirements of individual Luftflotten and included changes to crew seating, armament and additional fuel tanks.
