P51c HSoZ, 260 Sqn, RAF serial?

Hello!

Does anyone know RAF serial for 260 Sqn Mustang coded HSoZ during March-April 1945?

It seems that Roger Freeman in his book "Mustangs at war" states P/O R "Taffy" Williams as the pilot of the Mustang HSoZ in a photo caption.

Thing is that according 260 Sqn ORBs P/O Williams piloted several Mustangs from March 20th (the "First Operation with Rocket Projectiles") to end of April:
KH459 (1 RP flight), KH522 (2 RP flights), KH575 (3), KH595 (3), KH609 (9) and KH629 (5).

Which of those or none was the HSoZ? Does "Taffy" Williams' log book survive?

Cheers,

PS Why "P51c"? 260 Sqn ORB gives the aircraft type as such.
