So am I but we don't know what they say. Besides what is wrong with going by when the fuel was issued and used? That at least we do know

Why are you trying to force an answer on this issue without all the facts?
Why do you insist that
you know all the facts and the only operational document that definately tells us is wrong while you are right?
We happen to be lucky enough that the Operating Notes is a
legal document published by the Air Ministry and will reflect how the type was operated.

The majority of the work was already being incorporeated in new engines and in regular maintanence

The regular squadron maintenance personnel did not handle this and that is why the order specifies Service Inspection. RAF squadron did not perform that inspection. RAF squadron personnel performed daily and routine maintenance. The CRO performed major alterations.
In NEW engines but the RAF already had ~700 Hurricanes and Spitfires in the inventory during the time the instructions came out. Consider that meant some ~1400 to 2100 engines in maintenance stocks that also had to be modified.
The new production also has to cover maintenance stocks, too.
