Honestly, I'm not too familiar to this period and theater of war, and I can't figure if this difference between records is usual or not...
Kolya1, I recommand you to read "Focke-Wulf FW 190 in North Africa", the authors provided a very detail day-by-day account about the air war over North Africa related to FW 190 units, and yes, authors use both Allied and Luftwaffe records,it looks like II/JG2 submitted some very wild overclaims in that time period, it was strange, because the same units's claims in Western Europe were basically way more accurate.
