KüFlGr Ju 88s

In 1941 when 2./906 converted briefly to the Ju 88s, did the aircraft it collect come directly from the factories or where they 'hand-me-downs'?

I have four W.Nr. possibly associated with the unit (no sub-type data though) and it looks like they are part of a series suggesting the unit picked up new aircraft direct upon conversion from seaplanes:

1153 (I have this as 8L+AK)
1158 (no Kz. fo this aircraft)
1160 (I have this as (8L+DK)
1167 (I have this as 8L+EK)

However, I have another four - again, possibly associated with the unit - that are more widely dispersed, but still within the realms of possibility for a brand new collection:

1237 (I have this as 8L+FK)
1247 (I have this as 8L+HK)
1254 (I have this as 8L+GK)

Any insight into how/where the unit sourced its aircraft and what types these were. (If anyone knows of any other Ju 88s associated with the unit, I'd be very interested also).

TIA

Adam
