Polikarpov I-16 top ace - Vasilii Golubyev ?

Hello there Gentlemen,

one of the most difficult tasks in airwar enthusiasm is determining the I-16 top ace. Possible candidates are Shestakov, Muravitzkiy and Pilipenko.
Lately, I concentrated on Vasilii Golubyev.
The following two wonderful websites are quite helpful:
http://www.cieldegloire.com/015_golubyev_v_f.php
http://airaces.narod.ru/all1/golubev.htm
Unfortunately, none of them features a full list of Golubyev's 39+12sh kills and the kills indicated match only loosely :-(
I tried to merge the two lists and indeed a 51-kill list evolved:
1. 28.06.1941 Ju 88
2. 11.07.1941 Bf 109
3. 26.07.1941 Bf 109

51. 28.06.1944 Fw 190

However, it features only 10 of his 12 shared kills. Could anybody please help me to identify the other two shares ?

Have a nice Tuesday,

Michael
