Duplicated claims

The Foreman's book on Nachtjagd claims had two identical claims on 1st January 1944 and 1945:

31/12/43-01/01/44
9./NJG 3 Fw Heigl Stirling 02.02 1 W

31/12/44-01/01/45
3./NJG 3 Fw Heigl Stirling 02.02 1 W

Tony Wood files have the first one with a coded location
01.01.44 Fw. Heigl 9./NJG 3 Stirling £ 9957/05 Ost: no height 02.02 Film C. 2025/II Anerk: Nr.16

The above location is off Southern Norway:

I have found no Stirling loss for the first night, but for the second the Stirling IV LJ914 of 620 Sqn RAF was shot down off Southern Norway. Two other British crew saw it and thought a Flak ship was responsible, while according to the book "Stirlings in Action With the Airborne Forces" the Nachtjagerstaffel Norwegen claimed a Stirling that night.

I have found no claim by NJS Norwegen that night, only the one of Fw Heigl.

According to http://www.flensted.eu.com/g194506.shtml, a pilot of 2./NJG 3, Fw Heliodor Heigl, was killed in a landing accident at Grove, Denmark on 6 January 1945. It was probably the man who claimed a Stirling some days before.

Here are my questions:
1) can someone confirm that the victory of Fw Heigl was on 1st January 1945, and not in 1944 ?
2) can someone tell me if a victory of NJS Norwegen for this date is known ?
3) can someone confirm the Staffel of the Fw Heliodor Heigl who died on 6 January 1945, and if he is the same man who claimed a Stirling some days before ?
