If you ever see any documents I'd be interested. I bought the short one at a military show in Oklahoma about 15 years ago, I've been searching for a reference ever since.
It seems the SD4 HL with the short Tail is a test version.
They bin trying to perfect the wapon for more than a year the target whas to distroy 2 out of 4 tanks in a field of 18x24 m.
Because of the scattering of the bombs with the short tail whas not good enough the tail got longer.
There where first 50 bombs in a AB 250-2 after the tail got longer only 40 bombs.
The bombs where first used on the 5th of mai 1944 on the Ostfront.
