Attack on West Malling 15 August 1940 - Were Ju 88s Present?

West Malling airfield was attacked in error by Do 17s of I and III/KG76 at approximately 19.00 on 15 August 1940. Three pilots from 266 Squadron made claims for Ju 88s during this engagement, but there were no Ju 88 losses – just one Do 17 returned with damage. Is it safe to assume that the Ju 88 claims were misidentifications of Do 17s, or is it possible that II/KG76, which operated Ju 88s, took part in the attack on West Malling on this date?
