VF-85 Corsair losses, 4 May 1945

VF-85 suffered two Corsair losses on 4 May 1945 (shot down by Japanese fighters protecting kamikazes):

5/04/1945 * F4U-1C * 82542 * VF-85 * USS SHANGRI-LA (CV-38) * IE SHIMA * EMPIRE * LTJG SAUL CHERNOFF * S
5/04/1945 * F4U-1C * 82746 * VF-85 * USS SHANGRI-LA (CV-38) * IE SHIMA * EMPIRE * LTJG F.S. SIDDALL * S

My question is: Does anyone know or is there any way to find out what markings were carried by the aircraft flown by LTJG Saul Chernoff?

PS. Apologies for the typo in the title! It should be VF-85 of course
