Luftwaffe around Verona, 6 November 1944

Hi all,
I've been doing some digging into Operation Bingo which was the name of the Allied operation targeting electrical rail transport through the Brenner Pass on 6 November 1944. Both the 310th and 340th BG (B-25s) reported that "...enemy aircraft made one unaggressive pass at the formation in the target area...". The, "...crews report from 8-12 E/A (enemy aircraft) possible ME109's, FW190's, Ma202's..." and that the, "...markings were 3 white stripes on fuselage.". The target areas for the 6 November raids stretched from Verona to Bolzano but the B-25 target areas were Domigliara, Ala and Trento.
Do any of you know which Luftwaffe units would have been operating in that area on 6 November 1944? Would this have been a single unit operating 109s, 190s and 202s or multiple units? Any idea if there are mission reports that would describe which plane intercepted the B-25s on that day?
As most of you can quickly guess, my Luftwaffe knowledge is minimal at best so any help would be great.
Thanks.
Chris
