Would Luftwaffe Night-Fighter guns have had Muzzle-Flash suppressors built in?

Did a search through the forums and see if I could find any hits, and although I see that Tracer Ammunition wasn't used, I'm not sure if there was any type of Muzzle-flash suppressor on the aircraft (I'm thinking of 210 and 410 here).

Just for my own interest I'm wondering what methods the night-fighters of the Luftwaffe took to evade detection, but once they had a target and opened fire was the muzzle-flash significant?

Thanks for any interest and help, cheers, MP
