Hungary 1944

A simple question, hopefully:
Once Miklos Horthy was deposed following Unternehmen Panzerfaust, did the Arrow Cross adopt Honved uniforms, or did the Honved wear Arrow Cross arm bands? There are a few photos in the Bundesarchiv Foto collection (see attached) that show uniformed and armed troops in what appear to be standard Hungarian Army uniforms and kit, but with Arrow Cross arm bands. I'm trying to determine if the Army had to adopt the arm bands, or if the Arrow Cross was allowed access to Army uniforms and arms.

Thank you,
Pat

He who lives by the sword, should train with it frequently.
