Date query - 25. SS-Division (ung. Nr. 1)

Does anyone have any information on the following -
There is a list in the Bundesarchiv which is dated 7. August 1944. it has an order number - Tgb. Nr. 111/1236/44 g.k. The list is headed "Feldtruppenteile der Waffen-SS (Stand 1.8.1944)"
Besides listing several divisions/regiments (e.g. 29. SS Waffen-Division der SS "Rona" (russ. Nr. 1)) it also has listed " 25. Waffen-Gren.Div. der SS (ung. Nr. 1)"
Can anyone explain why the 25. SS-Division is listed 10/12 weeks before any agreement is signed between Germany and Hungary concerning the Hungarian SS-divsion's??

It is interesting to see that in the late summer of 1944 the SS-FHA may have been expecting to form a Hungarian SS division. Mind you, Kampfgruppe Deak had already been formed at this time and was in Waffen-SS service, eventually getting absorbed into the 25th SS Division by the fall of 1944.
