4. Staffeln was but one Staffeln of II/JG 7, but IV./JG 54 is whole 4th Group (that normally included 10., 11, and 12th Staffeln):
so this does not seem total of 4 Staffeln transformed into II/JG 7 - or was it (this designation) 4./JG 7 not used and the (all three) Staffeln of IV/JG 54 forming just 5th and 6th Staffeln/JG 7?

I can not elaborate further as I do not know exact histories of IV/JG 54 or II/JG 7 (or how this really became organized).
