Aufklärungsstaffel 4.(F)/Nacht

While checking the Luftwaffe Loss Returns for entries related to 3./Störkampfgruppe Luftflotte 4, I came across this loss attributed to 4.(F)/Nacht.

10 Apr 1943 - Ju 88D-1 Wk Nu. 430449 F6+KM lost to Flak over the Kuban - crew recorded as missing. (Lt Horst Dietrich (F), Lt. Kurt Fanst (B), Uffz. Johann Kutner (Bf) and Ofw. Wilhelm Klingenberg). Return dated 30.4.43, entry 167.

The unit code implies that this was a 4(F)./122 aircraft either loaned to 4(F)./Nacht or incorrectly recorded in the loss returns. Assuming that the aircraft was on loan, my question is - were the crew also from 4(F)./122 or were they a 4(F)./Nacht crew?

Can anyone help?
