While comparing information from the LEMB SKZ database with loss tables I found I had the following conflicts in the SKZ 'RE+D_' WNr. block for He 111s. WNr. 7027 & 7028 each had duplicate "write-off" entries. (Note that the last two entries for WNr. 7027 are within days of each other with one in the Med and the other in the East.)

WNr. 7039 was much the same, but there is another reported WNr. for the loss (4549), along with a date conflict. Can anyone add any information that might sort these out?
