Neither of which were done to take advantage of swept wing theory

That is not correct. It is impossible to argue that Mtt was not aware of swept wing theory.

By 1945 the entire German aircraft industry had a multitude of experimental swept wing aircraft and missile designs in a final realization phase. Also, a Me 262 had been retrofitted with a 35 degree arrow wing and was ready for first flight. A further (Me 262 HG II) version with 45 degrees sweepback was under final construction at the end of WW II.

The outer wings were swept to correct the cg.

Probably as result of the swept wing research and compressibility effects on the CG......
Mtt was obviously interested in adding futher sweep to the design.
