Many futuristic designs of the late war period (the so-called “Luftwaffe ‘46” aircraft) were never given official numbers; the Messerschmitt P.1101 and Junkers EF 128 are examples of aircraft that are known to us by their company designations, rather than official German ones.
All designs approved before that date were designated Bf, and after that date, they were designated Me. The break comes between the Bf 162 and Me 163.
