Ludwig Meister's claims 22/23 March 44?

Folks I wonder if you can help sort out some conflicting information about Ludwig Meister's claims for the 22nd and 23rd March 1944?

Previously I had one claim for Meister on 22nd March 44:
22.03.44, Hptm. Ludwig Meister, 1./NJG 4, 4-mot Flzg, 05 Ost S / JR Gütersloh, 21.51, 2025/I, Anerk Nr.24
(Reich, West and Südfront, Jan to Apr 1944. Vol. I):

However I have just found this entry for a claim on 23rd March 44:
38., 23.3.1944, -, Lancaster, 1./NJG 4, Near St Omer, Lancaster of 514 Sqn RAF
Source: http://www.luftwaffe.cz/meister.html:
This matches with Lanc DS815 of 514 Sqn lost 22/23rd March 44 on a raid to Frankfurt. Chorley shows it crashing near St Omer due to enemy fighter fire. I calculated the time of the crash at approx 23:45.

I am confused
Which is correct?

I hope you can help.
regards
Robert
