L. Keller, I/JG3 1940/41.

I'm a little confused. I was searching the name L. Keller in I/JG3, and found 4 recorded events:

5th September 1940.
2/JG3.
Messerschmitt Bf109E (3882). Bomber escort sortie to London. Oil cooler damaged in RAF fighter over the Channel and force-landed at Calais, France, 4.30pm. Oberfw. L. Keller (FF) unhurt. Aircraft 50% damaged.

11thSeptember 1940.
1/JG3.
Messerschmitt Bf109E (5276). Escort sortie to England. Collided with Oberfw. Hessel and crashed in the Channel off Dover, Kent, 5.15pm. Oblt. Lothar Keller (FF, Staffelkapitän) bailed-out and rescued unhurt. Aircraft lost.

5th October 1940.
2/JG3.
Messerschmitt Bf109E (3554). Sortie to England. Damaged by RAF fighters and force-landed at St. Inglevert a/f, France, 1.00pm. Oberfw. L. Keller unhurt. Aircraft 20% damaged.

26th June 1941.
Stab II/JG3.
Messerschmitt Bf109F. Sortie on the Eastern front. Collided with enemy aircraft (or collided with a Fi156 observation aircraft?) and crashed west of Stejanow, Ukraine. Hpmt. Lothar Keller (FF, Gruppekommandeur) killed. Aircraft a write-off.

So, were there 2 Keller's in I/JG3 during 1940?
To add to the confusion, 'Luftwaffe.cz/keller.html' says the event on 5th September was Oblt. Lothar Keller.

Thank you
