Small addendum... Although very late (I know), and to give due credit to Steefan Bouwer, who started this thread, I've managed to download the whole Operational Diaries of 1 Sqn. SAAF (courtesy of UK National Archives) and ascertained that the unit since April 18, 1945 was based in Tissano (alias Risano as landing ground).

So Goulding, who at the time was CO of the unit, was stationed very near to Campoformido and within the area of that airfield's wide web of dispersal areas.

This leaves no doubt about him having the means and the opportunity to take there the two shots of "77022x". Which, IMHO, leaves no doubts about the fact that who redacted the A.I.2(g) report simply missed to write the Werke Nummer of the aircraft when dealing with the "unidentified" five Bf 109Gs found...

Or, at least, this is the best explaination I have managed to come up with.

Thanks for the patience.
