Different numbers of honor guards during funerals of Ernst Udet and Werner Mölders

How come the number of honor guards are different during the funeral of Ernst Udet and Werner Mölders?

The first two screenshots are from Ernst Udet's funeral shown in Die Deutsche Wochenschau Nr. 586. Looking from the front, left to right, there are 5/4/5/4 guards in the four columns.

The next four screenshots are from Werner Mölders's funeral shown in Die Deutsche Wochenschau Nr. 587. Looking from the front, left to right, there are 4/4/5/4 guards in the four columns.

Why the difference? What's the significance in the number of guards in each column, if there's a set of standards in such settings? Why the 5/4/5/4 arrangement, for example?

I have no problem with the images, even on phone! Maybe a software or local/cencur issue.
