Yep you're right Paul, more or less, I did actually come up with 6638 at first after doing the maths but it didn't look a likely candidate seeing as it was scrapped at Kingman after the war !
There must be something not quite right with the numbers somehow, or my maths, but I think it is highly likely to be 6630 as it seems perfect for the situation, ie; it actually went down off Croatia.
Did you do the maths yourself ?
If not, can you do it and see if you come up with 6638 as I did.

Ps:- Tony and me had a good laugh about this B17 last night !
Tony wondered how long it will be before this said B17 appears on Sea Tech's site as a new find by what's-his-face !!!!!!
