Aces who scored 25 or more kills in the La-5

Good afternoon Gentlemen,

in the Lavochkin La-5 more aces scored 25 or more kills than in any other Allied airplane (including WW1 types).
I tried to compile them all:

ACE La-5 kills
1. Kirill Yevstigneyev (Евстигнеев Кирилл Алексеевич) 52,83
2. Ivan Kozhedub (Кожедуб Иван Никитович) 46
3. Vladimir Serov (Серов Владимир Георгиевич) 37,77
4. Nikolai Krasnov (Краснов Николай Фёдорович) 37
5. Vitalii Popkov (Попков Виталий Иванович) 37
6. Nikolai Skomorokhov (Скоморохов Николай Михайлович) 31,5
7. Aleksandr Dyachkov (Дьячков Александр Алексеевич) 30,33
8. Sergei Glinkin (Глинкин Сергей Григорьевич) 29,5-30,5 + 1 balloon
9. Nikolai Artamonov (Артамонов Николай Семёнович) 29,33
10. Viktor Kirilyuk (Кирилюк Виктор Васильевич) 29,25
11. Konstantin Novikov (Новиков Константин Афанасьевич) 28
12. Mikhail Mudrov (Мудров Михаил Иванович) 26,67
13. Pavel Dolgarev (Долгарёв Павел Михайлович) 26
14. Boris Rogov (Рогов Борис Пантелеевич) 26
15. Ivan Sklyarov (Скляров Иван Григорьевич) 26
16. Ivan Sytov (Сытов Иван Никитович) 25,25

I do not know if Sergei Glinkin's last kill on 18Apr45 was scored in a La-5 or in a La-7.
I also cannot exclude two guys from this list that I found in George Mellinger's "LaGG & Lavochkin Aces of World War 2": Ivan Georgievich Romanenko (13. IAP-KBF) and Ivan Ivanovich Tsapov (3. GIAP-KBF).

Can anybody give me a hint ?

Michael
