Two airmen evaded on same day from same squadron, Crane and Krajewski, so I presume they are from that plane.
They jumped near 40 deg 45 min N, 21 deg 15 min E, and were taken by Andartes to allied mission at Paramiethenia (possible spel. mistake).
It is too far away from alleged place, some 150km, but it is possible that rest of the crew jumped later, like stated in ME file.

So MACR of 44-6340 should give answer.
