Exactly. It specifies the four types of plugs which may be used for 100 Octane. You would have to look the spark plugs authorized for 87 Octane and see if any of them match the part numbers.
I actually have to put the certificate that comes with a set of plugs in the logbook of the aircraft we work on and sign it. It is a required entry and the certificate must state the plugs are authorized to use in the aircraft.
Aircraft maintenace is very tightly controlled by convention.

Now wait ... did I understand that correct:
Didn't you just say some posts above that the use of 100 octane fuel on one day doesn't mean it was used on the next day?
So the RAF filled there aircraft on one day with 100 octane, changed the sparking plugs, did all the certificate stuff. On the next day the drained the tanks, filled in 87 octane, reverted to the old sparking plugs, again certificate stuff.
And if they were really fast they might find have one hour per day to fight the Luftwaffe.
Seriously?
