Yes, Christer, I know that source
The fact is that several La-5s of 49 IAP were operationally assigned to 146 IAP/202 IAD at this time. Bashkirov claimed Ju-87 being a pilot of 146 IAP (this victory was finally credited to him as personal). Starshiy Politruk Gaidamaka failed to return from this sortie. Time of combat is about 7.15-7.35 (Moscow), so this is surely not Muncheberg's victim
