Could not begin to tell you which squadron was flying what aircraft without dragging out a bunch of books and such, but a list, distilled from data in Sherrod, of VMF and VMF(N) squadrons operating out of Okinawa and Ie Shima in the period April though June 1945 looks like:

VMF-113
VMF-212
VMF-222
VMF-223
VMF-224
VMF-311
VMF-312
VMF-314
VMF-322
VMF-323
VMF-422
VMF-422
VMF-441
VMF(N)-533
VMF(N)-542
and
