Re: FW 190 claimed
I guess you are talking of this claim:

26.08.44 Uffz. Schatermann: n.i.O. 3./Trapo 5 FW 190 £ 35 km. N.W. Otopeni: no height 08.19 Film C. 2025/I Anerk: 1

This was made over Rumania, I guess by a gunner of a transport plane of TG 5, and was proabably a misidentification of a Rumanian IAR fighters (many such misidentificated claims were made by US pilots over Rumania in 1944).

Fw 190 were not used by any enemy of Germany in September 1944.

The same day a JG 77 pilots claimed a Rumanian IAR-39 reconnaissance plane according to the same source.

26.08.44 Oblt. Kohrt 10./JG 77 IAR-39 £ westl. Buzau: 50 m. 09.25 Film C. 2035/II Anerk: Nr. -
