Walrus mystery PQ-17 July 1942

Hi guys

I'm slightly confused!

According to various accounts I've read:

3 July: Walrus (W2796?) from HMS London was taken in tow by the armed trawler Lord Middleton, having been misidentified and fired upon. What happened next?

4 July: Walrus P5706 from HMS Norfolk ran out of fuel, fired upon by AA escort Palomares,alighted nearby and taken in tow by Palomares. Towed to Russia.

Is there a mix-up?

Cheers
Brian
