Re: Would Luftwaffe Night-Fighter guns have had Muzzle-Flash suppressors built in?
The quick answer is that the 210/410 were not night fighters.
The key problem with muzzle flash is usually that of damaging the fighter pilots' vision: again, on the 210/410 family this would not be a problem because of their position, and this would also be true of the 110/88/219 with nose radar and belly weapon packs. It would be worthy of consideration on the earlier 110/215/88 series. I don't have an answer for your first question, other than that devices to reduce muzzle flash are not visible on most Luftwaffe night fighters, although I think that may not be true of all.
