This erroneous info comes from Punka's Osprey book.
Pánczél claimed a Soviet fighter in early August and scored three confirmed and one unconfirmed (probably later upgraded to confirmed) kills against Il-2s at the end of October, 1942, all with Re.2000. He later scored two additional Il-2s with a Bf 109 on 16 December, 1942.
Everything about him (life, combat career, air and ground claims, including several named opponents, awards, etc) are described in great detail in my Hungarian aces book (on pages 251-258).
