League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

I keep reading that part of what the Saxons sent along with the Prussians was the one Hussar unit of 8 squadrons but I have yet to find that unit or sections of it in any OOB. Can someone shed some light on where this unit was deployed during the campaign?

Undoubtedly a question for Günter, but I remember trying to chase down this unit when I did the research for Eureka's 18mm range of 1806 Saxons many years ago.

I know that at the time of Jena - Auerstaedt they were split - five squadrons were based in Liebstadt and saw no action, while the remaining three squadrons were attached to "Brigade Dyherrn" a largely Saxon formation placed towards the rear at Jena, which (according to Hofschroer) later "plugged the gap" between the 1st and 2nd Prussian Divisions.
