The HADES data from p+Nb collisions at a center of mass energy of sqrt(s_NN)= 3.2 GeV are analyzed employing a statistical hadronization model. The model can successfully describe the production yields of the identified hadrons π⁰, η, Λ, K⁰ _s, ω with parameters T_chem = (99+-11) MeV and μ_b = (619+-34) MeV, which fits well into the chemical freeze-out systematics found in heavy-ion collisions. In addition, we reanalyze our previous HADES data from Ar+KCl collisions at sqrt(s_NN= 2.6 GeV with an updated version of the model. We address equilibration in heavy-ion collisions by testing two aspects: the description of yields and the regularity of freeze-out parameters from a statistical model fit. Despite this success, the model fails to describe the observed Ξ^- yields in both, p+Nb and Ar+KCl. Special emphasis is put on feed-down contributions from higher-lying resonance states as a possible explanation for the observed excess.
