Seeking a 456th Bombardment Group a/c

Hello,
I am trying to find the full serial number of a B24 of the 456th Bombardment Group.
The a/c was with the 745th Squadron in April '44, its pilot was 1Lt. James Gardner.
Last three numbers were "589".

I have eliminated some and am left with these serial numbers -
41-29589 - B24-H-15-CF
42-50589 - B24-J-1-FO
42-51589 - B24-J-5-FO
44-40589 - B24-J-170-CO
44-42589 - B24-M-40-CO
And these two
44-49589 - B24-L-10-FO - RFC Walnut Ridge, November 28th 1945
44-50589 - B24-M-5-FO - RFC King man AAF, December 7th, 1945.

Does anyone know if any of the above served with the 456th Bombardment Group ?

Thanks
Alex
