Which rudder? I don't have your book, so I must rely on JFV 6/II and I see some differences when comparing the victory list with this photo (source: ex-ebay auction):

Even more differences may be seen in comparison with this sheet (also saved from ebay two years ago):

Your discussion about Clausen's victories is highly interesting for me, as I wonder whether these photos show Clausen's or Freytag's Bf 109 F-4:

According to the listings in JFV, when Freytag and Clausen switched between 1. and 6 Staffel, either had 57 victories.
