That is true, but one thing I gleaned from looking at original strength reports is that SS divisions (or generally Panzer Divisions) did not have that many StG44s in general, compared to infantry divisions. As I posted earlier, the Nordland division certainly reported none in June 1944. The last report from them that I have is from March 1945, where they still only report 135 StG44, compared to 578 normal smgs. Also, according to the report, they were not supposed to have any StGs at all, the "Soll" (target number) column is empty.
