Re: Soviet Black Sea Merchant ship losses
This is outside my area of experience but I have found an essay and a list of Luftwaffe units deployed in the area at the bottom, along with references used by the author. Clicking on the list image will allow you to enlarge it.

Re: Soviet Black Sea Merchant ship losses
For the period June through mid-October 1941, these two books are full of attacks on Soviet Black Sea shipping and the results. The author is a regular here and most of his data comes from Soviet and Romanian command war diaries. They cover many of the smaller ships not found in your list:

Hinckley (U.K.): Ian Allan/Midland Publishing, 2008. ISBN: (10) 1 85780 273 X. Bernád, Dénes, Dmitriy Karlenko and Jean-Louis Roba.

Re: Soviet Black Sea Merchant ship losses
Bryansk - the date of loss was 21 August. No LW claims for ships sunk. JG 77 claimed near misses on several ships and I./KG 51 reported that transport ship probably was not hit. So most probably JG 77
Kamenets-Podolsk - the date was 29 August and the unit responsible was 3./KG 28
