Two numbers missing from the list of IJN Guard units are numbers 8 and 28 - both these units are listed in the Navy table of units
8th Navy Guard is code SE181
28th Guard Unit is code SE144
no location is given for those units
I have never heard of a 28th Guard Unit, it may not exist. That number would suggest Northern New Guinea/East Indies.
