121. Wollenweber, p.138, identifies the twenty-second and final He 162 in the line-up as W.Nr. 120212, "White 1". Franks, however, on p.18, gives it as "W/Nr. 120002". Like "White 3", this He 162 has all the characteristics of an A-2 of the early 120xxx werknummer series: the high demarcation with no dark camo on the nose nor below the canopy, a balkenkreuz on the rear fuselage with a black centre and white bars, tail fins with dark green camo having a white surround hakenkreuz and a werknummer below in white numerals.
In this photo, note the extraordinary position of the white "1" below the windscreen. Perhaps this was the first aircraft to be numbered. Also, the gunpowder residue in front of the gunport is very visible and its tarps are lying on the ground.

122. Included in the reception delegation was Ltn. Rudolf Schmidt of 1./JG 1 seen here at the right. According to his flugbuch, Schmidt claimed a "Typhoon" while flying the "White 1" on 4 May 1945 on a feindflug.

123. In this view from the rear of the line-up at the top end of the right side, the dark green tail fins of "White 1" can be seen as the twenty-second and last He 162.

124. In this photo from Kurmark-Antik, their researcher, perhaps with a better resolution photo, suggests that the werknummer for "White 1" is 120013. This is the best view I can make so you will have to decide for yourself.
Like the two He 162s beside it, Franks, on p.18, also reports: "presumes scrapped as never shipped to the U.K.".
