I think this report could not refer to Italian Ju 87's as they were not under Fliegerführer Afrika (HQ that submitted this information to Pz.Gr.)

I agree it would be very odd. I also agree with you that this report raises some interesting questions about LW reporting, even though it could be as simple as initial reports overestimating the damage as well.

All the best
