P-39 Airacobra overclaimed by Obfw. Reinert of .4/ JG 77?

Hello to all!
I have seen someone posting a thread about several overclaims made by Luftwaffe pilots. I found some old DATA about German aces and saw what seems a bit strange: the claims submitted by Obfw. Ernst-Wilhelm Reinert on the 13 March 1943:
1- P40 20 km SW Gabes at 14:42hs
2- P40 ???????????????? at 14:47hs
Those seems to be on an early mission
3-P39 50 km WSW Sfax at 17:44hs
4-P39 15 km SE La Fauconnerie at 17:48hs
5-P39 57 km SE La Fauconnerie at 17:56hs
6-P39 47 km SW La Fauconnerie at 17:56hs
7-P39 13 km NW Maknassy at 18:00hs
Are those P39 overclaims? What RAF Squadron involved on the combat? A lot of other Germans also claimed on this afternoon...it seems that they destroyed pratically the entire RAF Squadron! There is any confirmation of those losses on RAF Records?
Glad to any clues on this subject

Adriano
