According to War Prizes, a Ta-154 Moskito was captured at Lage by the 54th Air Disarmament Squadron in slightly damaged condition. No FE number was assigned.
These two photos are of a Ta-154 in slightly damaged condition. They come from a group of photos taken by the 54th ADS on AFHRA reel A0708.

We know it was shipped to the U.S. aboard the Richard J. Gatling, as it is listed on the cargo manifest. Also, both photos are of the same aircraft.
