After armistice between Germany and France 1940 there were French aircrafts and pilots flying as "Axis"; maybe those victories were achieved in NA ?

Where do you see French kill markings? Here's Louis Schriber Jr.'s combat info from the American Fighter Aces' album. He flew with the 80th FS, 8th FG and was initially based in New Guinea.

"     Flying Lockheed P-38s, Lieutenant Schriber claimed five probably destroyed Japanese fighters before he was credited with his first confirmed victory on 18 January 1944, a Tony shot down just northwest of Wewak. He destroyed another Tony 30 miles north of Hollandia on 30 March and the following day was credited with an Oscar over Hollandia.
     Arriving in the Phillipines that fall, Schriber, by then a captain, scored his fourth victory on 22 December, downing a Hamp over Mindoro. Eight days later, he was credited with on Zeke confirmed destroyed, another as probable and damaged a thrid to become an ace. "

     That's all the kills he had.
