Seems two extra gunners were brought along :-) and who forgets not there were
two extra guns fittable to later rear-upper canopy, on either side (making them total four in rear upper canopy), and possibly three gunners needed for operating these, and one gunner in nose, and one gunner in gondola. Total six crew. (
Note: This explanation is pure and only my own thoughts, not based on references).
