Enemy P-51 Shot down by 82nd FG P-38

On October 29,1944, a enemy flown P-51 B/C was claimed by the 82nd FG. The airplane was described as "olive drab" and attacked a formation of 82nd FG P-38s. After taking hits from a P-38, it crashed into a mountain (Adorimi 82FG)
No 15th AF P-51s were reported lost.

Speculation. Any ideas as to who would be flying an enemy P-51? The encounter was over Linz, Austria. Maybe the P-51 was one captured by the Hungarians? Zirkus Rosarius always avoided combat. A local Luftwaffe unit flying a captured P-51? Doubtful. Possibly the A/C was misidentified? Probably will remain another minor mystery of WWII
