B-24’s 858 BS 492 BG 14 and 15/04/1945

Hi,
The history of the 858TH BS (492 BG) for April 1945 mentions for

14 April 1945 :
8 aircraft and crews departed on operational mission to Neuruppin, Germany – 3 aborted – 1 aircraft crash-landed at A-93 France (additional information not available) – 1 diverted to Woodbridge England – 1 diverted to A-96 France. Success of mission undetermined.

15 April 1945 :
8 aircraft went on high altitude bombing mission to Lichfield, Germany – 1 aircraft diverted to Brussels, Belgium.


(source : AFHRA reel A0667 p.1064)

For the crash landed aircraft at A-93 (= Bierset airfield, Belgium) 44-49297 is mentioned by another source, but others mention that this plane crashed on 14/04/1945 in Norway. Which information is correct ?

Which was the serial of the plane that diverted to Brussel on 15/04/1945 ?

Many thanks and best regards

Luc
