i am pretty sure that any order or uniform regulations by wars end were thrown out the window & Hitler-jugend soldiers & all soldiers in general just used whatever was available,as supplies & factories were bombed out,by 1945 all the mixed matched uniform combinations seen in photographs are re-issue & most likely taken from dead Kameraden.
