Alex,
Some more info on Lt Mears and the B-25 collision here: https://www.ozatwar.com/ozcrashes/qld241.htm

5 BG perhaps a confusion with (Bomber Command Replacement Center) 5th AF.

No serial(s) here either...

Regards,
Leendert

May I ask why MACR 16090 was issued in the first place?

Reading about the accident on Oz at War none of the two crews were missing.
