Indeed there is the change of engines and indeed the Jumo is heavier.
If the inner wing sweep was doone for weight is still debatable as you see in your nicely drawn comparisons:
The Jumo is a much larger engine, stretching out further behind the wing. If you look at your own drawing there is only a small part of the BMW after the center wing, almost entire weight is in front.
Not so with the Jumo, where approx 40% is in the back of wing center.
Radinger and Schick seem to disagree as well:

Quote:
On 1 March 1940, instead of moving the wing backward on its mount, the outer wing was repositioned slightly aft; the trailing edge of the mid-section of the wing remained unswept. Based on data from the AVA Göttingen and wind tunnel results, the middle section's leading edge was later swept to the same angle as the outer panels

We know for a fact that STORMBIRDS did not distinguish between inner or outer wing.

In an article about plagiarism. They don't go into design and development details of the 262 really.
You really have to give up clinging to one single sentence on their site.
As said there's much more to design and development than one single sentence.
Start thinking open minded.
