That´s all I´ve found, but I think you already have this info.

The Eismeer book shows that Uffz. Alois Mayrhofer of 5/JG5 baled out of his aircraft northeast of Kuusamo on 15-6-43 and was lightly injured. I also have a note that on 20-8-43 Uffz. Karl Mayrhofer of II/JG5 was injured in a landing accident at Svartnes Airfield in Bf 109G-2 13405 with the aircraft 60% damaged,
