Asking for THE specification of "100 octane" is like asking for THE flavour of "ice cream".
No it is not.

From the January 20, 1943 Edition of the P-47B, C, and D Pilot's Flight Operating Instructions:



All fuel is specified by convention and by convention is part of the airworthiness instructions for the design. The aircraft's publications will list the fuel by specification that is authorized.
