The best source for English and French squadrons at the battle of Schooneveldt is H.T. Colenbrander, Bescheiden uit Vreemde Archieven van Omtrent de Groote Nederlandsche Zeeoorlogen, 1652-1676, B. 2, Hague, 1919. Here is a line of battle dated 30 May 1673 with crews’ numbers (as per Establishments) and Captains’ names.

As for the battle of Texel, no problem with crews of French ships but their exact line is unknown; no exact data for English squadron at all; R.C. Anderson (Journals and Narratives of he Third Dutch War (NRS, v. 86, London, 1946) managed to define English ships participated in this battle, but with only partial distribution between squadrons (Red and Blue).

I have them on paper and can post them later as now I am busy.
