A Different Fate For Post-War Austria?

What if post war, Austria fell under the communist Bloc. Alternatively, Austria is split into East Austria, and West Austria. Even more alternatively, Austria ceases to exist and is split between East Germany and West Germany. Really, Austria is the one country in Europe that had so much AH potential post WWII. How many sceanarios are their for Austrian PODs?

1-Soviet victory. Austria ends up totally in the Soviet Bloc until 1989
2-US/UK victory, all of Austria is taken by the West
3-What happened in OTL
4-Austria split apart like Germany was until 1989
5-Eastern Austria put into East Germany to make a bigger East Germany

The Western Powers would never allow eastern Austria into Easter Germany. First the two did not have a common border, and two that would force the Western Powers to unite western austria with West Germany, something the west did not want to do

True but what options would they have? It's not something that's going to happen right after the war ... this would be a few years after and the negotiated had ended by then. An East and West Germany were not was the Allied planned either but that's how it went down. If the Soviets see the same situations developing in Austria ... you can bet they'll slice it up. Which troops had the better chance of occupying the region April 1945?
