I found one reference to Patches. In the book B-25 Mitchell The Magnificent Medium, there is a pic showing most of one of the vertcal tails blown off. The caption reads; "Ground Crewman speculate on the damage inflicted by an 88mm anti-aicraft round on Lt. Col. Malcom Baily's PATCHES. The 12 BG B-25 flew in this condition for more than two hours after being hit over Yugoslavia." I thought I had seen another reference to Patches in another book, but I have yet to track it down.
