Answer
Subsequent to following the suggested lead by Snow's Answer (@Snow deserves credit for this) I have been personally provided the following information by Colin A. Fries, archivist at NASA’s HQ History Division...
The pilots of the T-38 missing man flyover for the January 31, 1986 memorial service for the STS-51-L Challenger crew were Johnson Space Center research pilots (located at Ellington Field, TX) as follows (crews listed as Pilot / Back Seat, by formation position, top-down):
(1) David L. Mumme / Charles Hayes;
(2) Kenneth J. Baker / Stephen J. Feaster;
(3) Joe Tanner / Pete Stanley (pulls up for MM);
(4) Charles R. Justiz / Al Gews

This isn't an answer, but a proposed route to one.
Your linked article, NASA T38 Jets has a name at the bottom of it - Stephen Siceloff
When you dig into the "Contact NASA" pages, you run into an Employee lookup for the John F Kennedy Space Center and you can see that Mr Siceloff still works there:
JFK Space Center Directory Lookup
Which contains his contact information. He seems like a nice guy, so try here first.
