Operation Bowery Pilot Leroy J Morsheimer 5/9/1942, BR169

I am looking for the letters and numbers painted on both sides of the rondel. This flight was from HMS Eagle and was a complete flight from 611 Squadron. My theory is that these letters and numbers would have been recorded at Luca upon arrival. I do not know if these numbers were ever changed? It is possible the field logs stayed in Malta or more likely that they were eventually sent to England? The military always recorded everything. Any records on Eagle would have gone to the bottom with her. Still, copies might have been unloaded? Multipart carbon forms tracked much, but daily log books might be the best source if we could find where they might be now?
