An old thread here on ToCH should be very helpful:

Correct. The old thread gives a lot of information. Just recently we have finally indentitified the grave of Fw. Peter Vogelbacher who was MIA. The combat was between IV./JG 54 and the 56th FG. The initial area of combat was Lochen-Laren and then moving northeast.

In case it's of interest, there are a dozen or so Combat Reports for the 56th FG on 21 Sept 44 here:

172678 is the number handwritten on the NVM for Fw. Bauer. However, this werknummer was also listed (handwritten on the NVM) for the loss of Oblt. Sosna on 21.7.1944. I do not know which one is correct.

ULTRA isn't much help, I'm afraid (see attachment).

IV./JG 54 (and III./JG 11) did not reach the landing zone area. The successes on the C-47's was from I. and II./JG 26

Perhaps Gerhard Stemmer can share his thoughts about this. I do not know any other primary source for the WNr of Fw. Bauer. So, imho, it is a guess what is correct.
