Shrapnel damage from a German raid? They appear to be rifle caliber machine gun holes to me. Furthermore, the angles of impact are suspicious, with many appearing to strike from an angle level with or slightly below the plane.

So why gives?
Was it a ground raid? I can't recall any stories of the Afrika Corp pulling off SAS-type raids on airfields.

Low-flying strafers hit the field before the bombers similar to the time tested tactic of the USAAF in the Pacific?

Air-to-air damaged mislabeled?

OR, I'm still detoxing from the glue, 😵‍💫?

It seems that's pretty likely. One of the other gunners probably was shooting at an enemy fighter and accidentally nicked another B-26. If he even realized he did it, I doubt he'd be in any mood to tell anybody.
