The Mustang claims are a mystery...And three claims! As far as I know the VVS never used Mustangs...
I'd agree with Nick regarding SG-121 is probably SG-151
The NAGr12 claim is interesting because it lists two people, Ltn Haus and Uffz Voss.
Joint claim? Wellingtons flew at night in the MAAF so was this a night fighter sortie using NAGr12 Bf-109s?Dawn sortie catch a late returning Wellington?
I guess we'll never know

Mustangs were used to very little extent. 4 of them were received on Land lease programm. They were "Mustang I" handled by British authorities. Their numbers are: AG 348, 352, 353, 354. One went on testing to NII VVS and three others were sent to 3 VA. Combat experience was the only mission flown on September 13, 1942, escort for Sturmovicks, no contact with enemy.
