Request: AirNorSols in october 1944

Hi,
I'm looking for info about the bases of Marines squadrons in northern Solomons in october 1944.
Till now I've found:

Admiralties:
79 RAAF, USN VS-61,VPB-146 and VPB-52 det.

Emirau: USMC sqns
3x VMF squadrons with FG/F4U (2 of them are VMF-115 and 211)
2x VMSB with SBD
2 VMB with PBJ (VMB-413, 443?)
no. 3 RNZAF, USN VPB-137 both with PV

Green:
VMF-218,222 squadrons with FG/F4U
VMSB-244,341 with SBD
VMB-423 (PBJ)
1 VPB sqn?

Bougainville:
17 and 22 RNZAF
3x VMF squadrons with FG/F4U
2x VMSB with SBD
VMR-152 ,153 with R4D
USAAF 17th PhS det. with F-5A

The Marines squadrons in the area with unknown location were at the time the VMF:
313 (MAG-12)
212,223,VMO/VMF?-251 (MAG-14)
and the VMSB:
142,243 MAG?
133,236,(241) (MAG-24) (AFAIK VMSB-241 was in new hebrides)

Can you locate the 4 VMF and the 4 VMSB squadrons?

Thanks in advance
