It is also interesting that MG's standards for research were a bit lower back in the day.
P.S. Isn't the rack on the H-12 actually a PVC instead of an ETC?
(no real idea what either means)...

We are talking about technical details of war planes that flew fifty-sixty years ago. Plus add the fact that in may cases the documentation was lost, etc. The matter is controversial and always will.
Anyway, talking about the He 111, the aircraft had already an internal load of 2000 kg, but its bomb bays were not able to contain bombs larger than the SC 250. Thus came the racks. There were two types of racks, ETC for bombs up to 2000 kg (or more?) and the PVC racks for torpedoes. At the moment I don't recall the name of the rack used in the H-12.
