You are right, it is possible, although FW189 was well-known type.
An argument "contra":
In division's and corps's reports were mentioned one fighter and one FW189 (i.e. "non-fighter").
Anyway, I'll try to find the evidences from the Soviet side.
About FW189 units on the AOK17 front during the May 1943:
It seems 1.(H)/21 and 7.(H)/32 were in action. "Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen" for both units don't gives any loss "durch Feindeinwirkung" for May 1943.
Maybe something other units?
Best regards,
Andrey
