More likely Horten, given the overall design. One of the Horten brothers
claims that Northrop representative came to see him in regards to why
their flying wings were more stable than Northrop's, and he put them on
to the pointed "Bat Tail" of the Horten designs as being the key feature
in their success; the original B-2 design had a single pointed bat tail
as opposed to the three that the finished design ended up with.

I assume that this is based on publicly released information, at least I
hope so.
I'd hate to see a back-engineered version go on sale at my local Walmart
store for $5000.00 ;-)
