Here is evidence that it didn't work that way:

Spitfire I "operational limitations" January 1942 (I'm sure someone has a better copy of this)

Merlin II, II and V "operational limitations" November 1940

In all of these publications 100 octane fuel and +12 is only a "minor footnote" and the "All out" limit is given as +6 1/4.
