FuG 218 Neptun radar

My question has to do with a specific radar receiving unit that was used onboard the late model Messerschmitt Bf110g4 aircraft. This was the FuG 218 Neptun radar, with the modified “X” shaped antenna on the forward nose.

What radar display receiver was installed in the Bf 110 for this unit? The Me 262 B1a/u1 had the smaller single screen display for its FuG 218 radar and FuG 350 Naxos receiver. Was something similar to this also installed in the Bf 110g4? If so, is there any documentation where the controls were located for the FuG 218 Bedientgeräte I and Bedientgeräte II? I would like to use this in a 1/32 model that will depict Obst. Hans-Joachim Jabs’ Bf 110G-4/R3 from 1945. Surely he used the single screen display that was similar to that in the Me 262 B1a/u1, and not the more common Sn2 two-screen display radar.

There is some cockpit photo documentation for this single screen display in the experimental versions of Fw 190s and Bf 109s, but I have found nothing for the Bf 110gs.
