Question about panzer loss in Praga, 1944.09

Hello,guys,
I am reading some information about the fight in Praga(east of Warsaw)in September 1944. It says that during mid September,Soviet 47,70Army and 8 Guard tank corps launched intensive attactk on Praga and successfully concquer it, but failed to break in western bank.The war dairy of 8 Guard tank corps claims the destruction of 21 PzVI,59 PzV,19 PzIV and 5 Spg during 10-20 September, but also suffered 89 tanks and Spgs as irrecoverable loss.

I try to find some information about the panzer loss of German troops which defened Praga(seems mainly 73 ID,19Pzd and elements of SS3Pzd),but they are fragmentary.According to the books about Panther/Tiger of Totenkopf, SS3PzD lost 1-2 tigers(various information from different books) and 7 Panthers between September 10-20; I/27PzRgt lost 12 Panthers during the same time.I am still seeking information about loss of other panzer units such as II/27PzRgt and II/SS3PzRgt, so is there any available information for these troops?

Regards
