I didn't say that. I only noticed that it is not possible to determine the presence of the 30mm hub cannon from a photograph.

Whereas I have often seen "G-6/U4" designations in OOBs, I think it is quite improbable to find any of the Rüstsatzen reported in such documents... after all, do you expect the presence of the R3 (ventral 300l drop tank) to be reported on paper? As yogybär/Jörg already said, the very nature of the Rüstsatze was an on/off modification, which was not meant to be fixed. So, IMHO, it is unlikely that someone bothered to report that presence on papers, unless on a general basis of availability.
