I read once (but I'm not sure if this is actually true) that the usual old military ranks, like Oberst, were sometimes even used for SS officers (inofficially), first of all because they're usually shorter (Standartenführer, Sturmbannführer, Gruppenführer, they're all very long) and second because civilians were usually far more familiar with the normal military ranks that had been around since long before the Nazis than with the new SS ranks. So from what I understood it wouldn't make much sense for anyone from the military, the SS or the government to call Landa 'Oberst', but a civilian might remember 'Oberst' more easily than 'Standartenführer' and stick to that.

Again, this is just something I remember reading somewhere, I don't know if it's really true.

That first part sounds like a non-German hypothesis, honestly. Those titles have between four and five syllables, which isn't difficult for a German (where selbstverständlich- four syllables- is a word tossed around in everyday speech) speaker.

It is very possible that a civilian would use an older military term.
