Who got Saburo Sakai?

According to most sources, including H. Sakaida, it is a Harold I. Jones (no rank given).
According to Frank Olynyk's air victories list #2, it should rather be AMM 2/c H. H. Caruthers of VS-5, the only rear gunner of a SBD to claim a "kill" that very day.
All sources agree to say that the rear gunner was flying with Lt Carl H. Horenburger. But... most of them post Horenburger with VB-6, while he actually was with VS-5.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Chris
