The following website may be of interest

Shows the following
DATE: 6/2/1945 (Date different to the one mentioned in your post (2nd June or 6th Feb. ?))
TYPE: F4U-1D
BUNO: 82789
SQUADRON: VBF-85 5 (Tying error??)
FROM: USS SHANGRI-LA (CV-38)

Cannot find any details of aircraft markings flown by him on 4 may 1945

Kind regards

Ross
