They have, at least, a Jagdtiger (a working translation could be "Hunting Tiger"), two Königstiger (which is the Bengal Tiger), and a Tiger proper. Which would be Maho's own team - something to add to the confusion.
Now, just think the amusement with "PANTHER TEAM, ADVANCE!"

Which panther? Seriously, they could just number their tanks and use those to coordinate... as they may have in series. About the only tank that could've used the Oorai method was the Maus.

While "Königstiger" do in fact mean "bengal tiger" it also litterally mean "king tiger". Some say that it is a mistranslation by the allied troops, but it is actually correct and in my mind makes more sense when it's the name of a tank. The Tiger II was the king of Tiger tanks.
The "jagd-" prefix you mention were common for all German hard shelled tank destroyers, excluding the SturmGeschutz (StuG) series and also the Ferdinand/Elefant for some reason. They were designed to hunt tanks, so it makes sense. (StuGs were designed as infantery support, not tank hunting.)
Jagdpanzer 38(t) - Hetzer (based on the chassis of Panzer 38(t)) Jagdpanzer IV (based on Panzer IV) Jagdpanzer V - Jagdpanther (based on Panzer V Panther) Jagdpanzer VI - Jagdtiger (based on Panzer VI Königstiger)
All softshelled tank destroyer, and also Ferdinand/Elefant for some reason, are instead called "Panzerjäger". The diffrence between Jagdpanzers ("hunting tanks") and Panzerjägers ("tank hunters") of course being that Jagdpanzers are themselves considered tanks while the Panzerjägers are not. The only reason I can think of for excluding the Ferdinand/Elephant from the Jagdpanzer club is because it's based on the Porche prototype for the Tiger tank, thus lacking a tank number (like V is Panther) so you can't call it "Jagdpanzer [number] Ferdinand".
I'm not assuming that you don't know this. I just like spreading interesting information to anyone who might read this.

That's probably the case, that and the fact that the Tiger (P) never went into proper production in the first place (unlike the Panther, Tiger, et al). Jagdpanzer VK45.01 (P) Ferdinand would just have been cumbersome even by German standards, and besides, "VK45.01 (P)" was only an engineering project codename, not a production tank designation. And Jagdtiger (P) would have led to confusion.

That and they would only have 100 of them at the most.
