This story is also described in English in M.Vestisk's book - "Lavockin La-7". Acording to the book Kozhedub was ordered by his regiment commander P. Chupikov not to talk about this incident against P-51Ds and he was given the film from the gun camera. The film is said to being made public by his wife after his death. Is it true? No idea - it may be a tale...

It's a translated fragment from the N.Bodrikhin's book 'Soviet Aces'. That book is not so bad, but based mainly on pilot's memoires, not documents ;). ...
