No reported losses, no "Nachmeldung" for the night 4./5.4 in later reports.
I would say 14.(Eis)/KG 55.

Tagesmeldungen of Lfl1 are also on the germandocsinrussia.org among "Materialien des deutschen Verbindungsoffiziers bei der finnischen Luftwaffe", but the night 4/5.4.44 is absent.

2x4 planes may have actually been two runs of 4 planes.
And maybe the report that the downed plane was the He111 is correct.But there are still questions about WNr (typo in the report?). Is it possible to draw any conclusions from the motor's WNr?

Most probably not

What a tangled story!

Is your info from Summarische Verlustmeldungen?

Best regards,
