"Formation 16 JagdPz Zug/4" uses Unit 043 LaS 762 that is already available from 5/42 on so isn't 7/43 a bit too late?
If so maybe other formations that use this vehicle must be checked too:
JagdPz Kp /14
JagdPz Kp /9
"Formation 17 Panzer Kp (le)" has the same problem as "Formation 9 Panzer Grp (le)" it used PzKw II C (5/37) too, additionally the PzKw I is available from 9/35, so isn't 2/35 too soon?

Yes, what you are misunderstanding is a fundamental aspect of the game.
Formation 9 Panzer Grp (le) "uses" Unit 002 PzKw II C as a placeholder for the unitclass " light tank". It does NOT have to be the earliest unit in the OOB.
We do include the tools to learn this with MOBHack
