Don Sheppard's Oscar kills on 4 Jan 1945

Does anybody have more details about the two Oscars that were shot down by Lt. Don Sheppard on 4 January 1945 during strikes at oil refineries in the East Indies?

Lt. Sheppard was flying 1836 sqn Corsair Mk.II JT410/T8H from the HMS Victorious at the time.

I would like to know more about the Ki-43 Oscars and the dogfight itself.
What unit were the Oscars from?
Were they the newer Ki-43-III variant or older models?
When and how did the dogfight take place?

Any info is extremely welcome.

Many thanks!

Ronnie
