205 Group RAF was a part of MASAF --> MAAF, which was a formation under joint command of RAF and USAAF.
In regard to unit subordination, e.g, No 208 or No225 Squadrons, both TAC/R, were under command of 63.FW, which was an USAAF unit, but in the same time 79.FG flew for DAF, which was a RAF unit late 1944/early 45.
Also, when you say sorties you actually mean missions. I am not quite sure how many of these were completed. This is a list I have, but I am not sure it is 100% accurate, as I used it as a side-note for the research of my area of interest.

If you really want to write a book on this topic you should cut your teeth on the archive material. To get you going, here are the losses for missions to Danube that I have. They might be nearly complete, but hopefully, you'll need much more detailed info than dates and serials.
Cheers.
