According to the Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen for 8.(Pz)/Sch.G. 2 it was formed in Dec42, maybe the official re-designation didn't "catch" up with the unit until Jan43.

Either way be it 5./Sch.G. 1 or 8.(Pz)/Sch.G. 2 it certainly wasn't 4.(Pz)/Sch.G. 1 as this unit was definitely on the southern sector of the Eastern Front at this time.
