Not certain.
Heinkel developed it for the He 280.
After that, the He 219 uhu had them.
The He 162 salamander had a different type, it was a set of giant shotgun shells that launched the seat upward.
The Dornier Do 335 pfiel had ejections seats, and explosive bolts that launched the vertical stabilizer and rear prop..
