For what its worth the two Moranes were from 60 Sqn RFC. They were part of a four machine patrol which came under 'Archie' fire at 1630 over Pouilly. And as far as the surviving crews were concerned both missing machines recieved direct hits with observer of one seen to fall out. No doubt they were credited to Wintgens and Frankl, but one has to suspect that they merely finished off two already stricken machines.

Cheers Russ
