He 111 from KG 51 9K+GH

I search about the kampfgescwader who loss one Heinkel 111 am 11 Mai 1940 circa Pirey (in Doubs department 21, near Besançon-France )
Certainly no victims ...

We have 2 possibillity from pictures :

Pic with 111 9K+GH (KG51)
or
Pic with 111 G1+?? (KG55)
and one name for crew from KG51 :Fw Leinkeit Pow

So for Pirey am 11 may 40 : KG51 or 55 ?

Thx by advance,
Best Regards, Dan
