The Ta's rarely got really high due to Pressurisation issues (ie: canopy seals didnt seal), and because the B-29 threat simply did not eventuate. A good number of Ta 152H's appear to have been fitted with the standard Fw190 blown canopy, as was the short winged Ta152E and BMW powered short winged Ta152C.
 

Only one Ta 152E prototype was produced. The Ta 152E production like was switched over to C's, and no E's entered service.
 

Indeed - Here is a rather good YouTube video on this particular subject by Mark Felton Productions... here:
