Did the P.Oxy. 5575 scribe also copy (something like) the Gospel of Peter?

VARIANT READINGS: P.Oxy. 87.5575 and P.Oxy. 60.4009: The Same Copyist (Brent Nongbri).

P.Oxy. 60.4009 is described as "Gospel of Peter (?)." See, for example, Appendix 3 of this 2004 SBL paper by Bob Kraft.

For the new Jesus sayings fragment, P.Oxy. 87.5575 (a.k.a. P.Oxy. 5575). see here, here, and here.

By the way, over at the AWOL Blog, Chuck Jones has recently linked to the Oxford/EES Oxyrhynchus Papyri website. This seems like a good time to mention it.
