A) either a wingman or a spotter confirms the kill

B) They’re not confirmed and other people have to dig through records to see if that even happened.

Exaggerations of kill records were common before gun cams, especially with aircraft doing ground attack roles. The USAF claimed more tanks destroyed than North Korea had, while the Germans during battles like Smolensk (the second one) claimed more tank kills than what the Soviets had.
