I've found an oddity recently, in signals from 1945. Aircraft that crashed and killed the pilot on German territory are classed as 99%; those on destroyed Allied territory are 100%. It just seems to have been a way of distinguishing, although I suppose if you have a wreck you can always salvage something, hoewever small.
