2 crashed He111 (UK) with same WNr?

Hi Guys, I wonder if any of you can help. I've found two losses of He111s in the Blitz Then & Now Vol 2. They both appear to have the same WNr. Which one is correct?

8-9 April 1941 - He111P-4 - 8./KG55 - G1+LS - WNr: 2908 (Crashed UK)

And

7-8 May 1941 - He111P-4 - 6./KG55 - G1+HP - WNr: 2908 (Crashed UK)

Thanks for your time.

Clint

With thanks to Peter D Evans over on LEMB it appears that both these aircraft are recorded as WNr.2908 in the QM Loss Lists page dated 11.04.41 & QM Loss List sheet for 09.05.41. So must be a typo?

Maybe W.Nr.2808 for G1+LS ?

Thanks for finding that topic udf_00 a very interesting read. So I wonder if the photo of the tailplane of WNr.2808 supplied to Andy Saunders by Fritz Pons, (one of the Windsor Great Park G1+LS He111 survivors) was in fact a photo of the tail of his aircraft?
