Probably this is Me 323E WNr 1274 II/TG 5 piloted by Honig. 80% damage on this date as a result of a "Fighter attack", 4 WIA.
Ju 90 claimed by W/Cdr Maydwel crew was Ju 90 WNr 0007 J4+JH from Lufttransportstaffel 290, piloted by Ofw H. H. Boldt. Junkers was damaged by Marauder fire and later also hit by own FLAK. Landed on water near Basita.
Me 323 shot down by S/Ldr H Law-Wright crew probably was Me 323E WNr 1259 from I/TG 5 ( 5 KIA, 4 WIA). According to Me 323 Schiffer book by H-P Dabrowski, this a/c was shot down by fighter.
