Beaufighter serial numbers 1943/44

Hi guys

I'm looking for the serial numbers of the following Beaufighters of 47 and 603 Squadrons lost during 1943/1944 in operations over the Aegean (amended):

47 Squadron
D shot down 5/11/43
B shot down 5/11/43
A shot down 13/11/43
D shot down 13/11/43
? shot down 30/1/44
? shot down 13/2/44

603 Squadron
E shot down 17/10/43

Also, which squadron lost NV151 on 5/1/44?

Any help at all will be very much appreciated.

Cheers
Brian
