Re: jagdtiger with flamethrower?
For what is worth, the project is included in Osprey's New Vanguard 015 Flammpanzers - German Flamethrowers 1941-1945 by Tom Jentz and Hilary Doyle. The reference in the book is quite detailed, so I think it can be taken as confirmation of the existence of the project.
The flamethrower nozzle was to be installed in the place of the hull machine-gun (if the flame oil was carried internally, there would be no other weapon systems, though a suggested solution was to use a tráiler to carry the flame oil).
