JG2 claim on 23 Jul 1942?

On 23 July 1942, the Danish 234 squadron pilot P/O J Thalbitzer is shot down by German fighters between Plouescat and Guisseny in Northern France, cf.
http://www.danishww2pilots.dk/sorties.php?id=299

Another 3 234 pilots are missing from this operation
Sgt Fuggle
P/O Webster
Sgt Farmer

According to Tony Wood's claims list JG2 has the following victories on this day:
23.07.42 Hptm. Rudolf Pflanz 1./JG 2 Spitfire
23.07.42 Hptm. Rudolf Pflanz 1./JG 2 Spitfire
23.07.42 Fw. Georg Hippel 8./JG 2 Spitfire

Would anyone know, if any of these claims has ever been matched to 234's losses on this date? Of special interest for me is of course Thalbitzer's.
