Mosquito downed by Me163

On page 149 of "Rocket Fighter" by William Green it states:
"Feldwebel Rolf Glogner, one ofJG's most experienced Komet pilots, took off shortly after dawn to intercept a reconnaissance Mosquito reported to be approaching Leipzig. .....Glogner sighted the Mosquito some distance away and below, put the Komet into a steep dive and rapidly overhauled his quarry. Pulling out immediately behind the Mosquito, Glogner fired a short burst with his cannon and the port engine of the Mosquito immediately burst into flame, its two crew members bailing out." This was the last Me 163 intercept flown from Brandis.

Does anyone know identity of this particular Mosquito aircraft and its crew?
