Luftnachrichtenschule 4 losses 5-4-44

While looking at http://www.wiki.luftwaffedata.co.uk I found this:-
On the 5th of April 1944 Luftnachrichtenschule 4 lost a Ju 86E-8 and a Caudron C 445 shot down by U.S. fighters near Lyon, both 100%, 12 killed.

As far as I know all U.S. fighter claims were over Germany and I believe these losses were due to a 418 Sqn Mosquito flown by F/L Scherf, F/O Stewart who claimed the following over France:-

Fi156 destroyed on ground Monsoreau
Potez 63 or Me110 shot down Lyon A/F
T/E S/F E/A(poss Fw58) shot down Lyon A/F
Two He111 destroyed on ground St. Yan
Does any one have more details on the aircraft lost and crews ?

Regards
David
