According to the British Air Ministry's Manual of German Air Force Terminology, Part VI Abbreviations, page 74, dated 1945-46, the correct abbreviation for Schlacht is Schl. and for Schlachtgeschwader it is Schl.G. or Schl.Geschw. This was up to 20-22 October 1943. After that date, S.G. was the abbreviation for Schlachtgeschwader, but the Germans often used just SG.
