103 Sqd Loss on 1st January, 1944 ?

Hello,
For some time now I have been puzzled as to the loss of a/ aircraft of 103 Sqdn on the night of the 1st/2nd January, 1944 has not been addressed on the forum ( at least I could not find ).
In BCL vol 5 it has it as a 12 Sqdn loss but the entry is given 103 Sqdn code of "PM" and not " PH".
So I searched for updates/corrections in the later volumes but found nothing.
Was the a/c on loan to 12 Sqdn hence the 103 Sqdn code or is it a typo error that has gone unnoticed ?

It is reported that this a/c was later displayed as a ground exhibit on the 12th June 1944 at Uirz ( not sure if I got the spelling right ?).
Sadly there seem to be have been no pictures of this a/c taken at the display which is to me very odd. At least none that seem to have survived.

Thanks
Alex
