I found today a new scan of a flute sonata by Graun: IMSLP112867-PMLP230408-graun_kh_fl_sonata_C.pdf. This is a manuscript/autograph scan.

When looking at the first two movements (I didn't inspect the other movements) I remarked that this sonata is identical with an oboe sonata by Alessandro Besozzi: PMLP256967-Besozzi_-_Oboe_Sonata_in_C_major_(ed._Rothwell).pdf‎. This is a scan from a printed edition.

I assume that Graun is not identical with Besozzi. Can someone clarify the authorship?

Good catch!
But apparently you were not the first to notice: see the entry in the Haynes Bibliography http://haynes-catalog.net/works/show/363
The Graun should be moved.

Interesting. If you have a look at Haynes Catalog http://haynes-catalog.net/works/show/36 ... -630713888 you will find a lot of sources for this sonata,
only one of them assigns it to Graun. So it is much more likely, that it is the 6th of a set of oboe sonatas by Besozzi. Some remarks or links at IMSLP are necessary, I think.
