Luftwaffe loses and victories - simple questions

It's really easy...but...
In different sources i find different data about Luftwaffe victories and loses on West (including South) and Eastern Front. For example, in one book i read about 41 000 Luftwaffe day fighters victories on East, in over - 44 400, etc.
The same situation on West, especially with German loses.
But what with German official RLM data about this subject?

This data was excerpted by the USSBS from OKL documents:
(Single engine fighters destroyed and damaged over 10%)
West,North,Med
1940-1069
1941-1474
1942-1921
1943-6371
1944-14060
East
1941-1095
1942-1849
1943-1874
1944-2103
There is a lot more data, but it will take too much time to put it up here.

losses for the Battle of Britain are available through several sources, but other losses can only be had by going through the German loss records available from either the Bundesarchiv or the Public Records Office in the U.K.
