The problem with He 177 losses are the inaccuracies with dates etc. First of all, there was a day claim for a He 177-1/Lt S C Wilkerson of 361st FG. Another problem is some He 177s were lost without crew casualties-12-13 Jun 44, a 4/KG 40 crew which was later shot down 9 Jul 44 was shot down by a Mosquito of 410 Sqn-according to the crew, the only casualty was Uffz Erich Richter but there is no mention of him in the NVM!
