I believe that they all have "Kü" where there is an umlaut over the lower case "u".

Interestingly, the abbreviation "Kü" in German can refer to "Coast" or "Kitchen". Perhaps the Luftwaffe had to "cook" up some Lugers for their coast watchers in the armory "kitchen", since so many of their planes and crews had been eliminated as the war progressed...
