Just being pedantic but the tracers are wrong in one respect, and it's not the way they look.
The RAF didn't mix ammo in 1940. Thay tended to have only one gun of the 8 loaded with tracer. This was because they encountered problems with the firing mechanism if they mixed ammo, (because of the slight difference in recoil characteristics among other things). Many pilots didn't want tracers at all except for the last few rounds in each gun because it alerted the enemy if you managed to sneak up behind them and missed with your first burst.
