Don't pay too much attention to the "Me-410" identification, and certainly don't assume a flying unit based on that identification.

Nighttime aircraft recognition during the war was not neccessarily accurate. The best you can conclude fom the combat report is that the other aircraft was likely twin-engined.

For example, Allied crews identified Me 410s, Ju 188s, and even Me 163s at night - all cases of mis-identification. I have even found cases of two four-engined bombers firing at twin-engined German fighters when, in fact, they were firing at each other...so much for aircraft recognition.
