Claims of 151. Wing on 6.10.41: 2 or 3 Ju 88?

I am woder about differece between claims of 151. Wing on 6.10.41?

1. There are following list of victories: 3 enemy were shot down for certain (2xJu 88 + 1 Me 109), next were 3 Ju 88s counted as "probables" and next 6 Ju 88s were counted as "damaged", according: R.A.F in Russia by H. Griffith, p. 69.

2. As I rigth remember pilots of 151. Wing (81+134 Sqn) were credited with with 3 certain destroyed Ju 88s. Such amout of victories is in C-F Geust's book Red Stars 4, or in other sources. So there are very often given such data of 151. Wings succes in Russia as: 11 Me 109 + 3 Ju 88 official credited as victories/destroyed, not counted probables and damaged. It was onle one battle Hurricanes versus Ju 88s.

In this comparnision 1. v. 2. one Ju 88 is "missing"?

BTW.
There is very well know for me, that during this attack KG 30 had lost in fact 3 Ju 88 A-5s, this is not the point.
