I hate to be pedantic but you couldn't customise any Spit's gun setup. You just had different standard types of Spitfire which were built with a specific wing configurations. Most were C or E wing from the MkV onwards. For instance you could fly an XIVc or XIVe but changing one to the other wasn't normal.
In the original Il2 you could go through a planes load out and change it, these include gun loadouts i.e. on a 190A8 you could go through all the revisions of the A8 and change the load out options to those revision like adding Mk103 gun pods etc or just take the stock variant with the weapon load out it could take. On the A5 you could change the 20mm MGFF to the superior 20mm MG151's.
Bare in mind, hardly any WW2 fighters could alter the guns they were supplied with. Some VVS field changes took place for some lend/lease aircraft but even they are limited.
