Hallo Billy
I found only some information for ONS-33
On 04.10.1944 the canadian frigate Chebogue (1370t) was torpedoed by U-1227 (Position 49°20'N, 24°20'W).
On 14.10.1944 the canadian frigate Magog (1370t) was torpedoed on posotion 49°12'N, 68°19'W by U-1223. The Magog was damaged beyond repair.
The canadian frigate Toronto was attacked at the same time by U-1223 but missed.
Jürgen Rohwer says for Chebogue it was convoy ONS-33 and for Magog and Toronto it was convoy ONS-33G (whatever the "G" means).
Best regards
