I do not know, the only evidence of Ju 87 G early operations is that from KTB Stab Stuka 2 during the Kuban-battle, when VfP was attached to Stuka 2 in May 1943. The KTB gives the exact numbers of 3,7 cm-ammunition used up daily, so we can be certain that Ju 87 Gs were actually engaged. For the July 1943 nothing similar is available. I do not even know if VfP was further used as 'autonomic' unit or the Gs were spread throughout variuos Stuka Gruppen.
