Night bombers interception in Western Europe in 1944

All the B-26 units in Italy were eventually phased out, as they had been in
the
Pacific, so that eventually B-26s only operated in the ETO.

I know one US MTO B-26 Group was briefly converted to B-25s before relocating
to
the states for transition to the A-26 and the PTO, but I thought the
other 2? (3?)
remained in the theater.

You're correct. I was thinking only of operations in Italy.
The 319th was the group that converted to B-25s before transitioning to A-26s.
It left Italy at the beginning of 1945. After that there were only three
medium groups in Italy, the 310th, 321st and 340th, all flying B-25s.
