B-24 losses on 3 October 1944

Hello,

On 3 October 1944, Masaji Nioshiwaki of 11th Special Base Unit (F1M flotplane) claimed three B-24s destroyed while dropping a 3-go bomb (air-bursting phosphorus) on them over Balikpapan.
307th BG lost 6 B-24s during the day over the area:
44-40565 MACR 10485
44-40568 MACR 10489
44-40599 MACR 12179
44-40614 MACR 10488
44-40933 MACR 10487
44-40955 MACR 14084

Is there anyone with easy access to these MACRs that can verify if any of these B-24s were lost by 3-go bombs?

Best wishes/Håkan
