Can you tell me if Sayn-Wittgenstein ever scored in another aircraft type than the Ju 88 ?

There is a picture (late june 1942) of his Do-215 B-5 with 35 "abschusse" (1st and 2nd by day with ZG1)

I don't know in which order Becker made his kills or how many he did, never took an interest in his other kills just focused on Do 215 kills.
