Question 361st Fighter Group's last JET victory?

Me-262 shot down by James Sloan. According to his encounter report, this battle happened at west of Berlin target, time was 10:00, and he was escorting the bombers.

But on 361 FG'S official website, the record is " an uneventful escort mission to Lechfeld".

From <Yellowjackets!: The 361st Fighter Group in World War II>, this unit were escorting B-24s. That day, all B-24s of 2nd Division bombed airfields at Lechfeld (109), Memmingen (96), Leipheim (88) and Landsberg (62) and Landsberg E landing ground (33). 1 B-24(42-52457) was lost over Lechfeld, time was 19:37. So ,obviously that was an afternoon mission.


My question is : Berlin or Lechfeld? morning or afternoon mission? Anyone can give some clue? Thanks alot~
