ME 163 Komet losses on 2nd November 1944

Good night to all!
I am looking for additional information about the two Me 163 Komet losses recorded on the mission of 2nd November of 1944.
I would like to know:
a) the name of LW pilots shot down
b) Werknummer and code numbers of their aircraft
c) USAAF claimants

I do know that .2/JG 400 was in action and that a Feldwebel whose name I can not remember by heart claimed a B-17 shot down. I also do remember a P-51 pilot´s combat report remembering seeing a Komet coming down in a very steep dive.

Could someone help me to identify the German pilots as well as the USAAF pilots who claimed those jets on the 2nd November 1944 mission?

Thanks in advance

PS: I have checked the book of Maj Späte, but there is no mention on this combat mission. Also checked a book I do possess ( Ballantine Editions ) on the Komet, but there is no mention to this mission.

Yours

Adriano
