White tailband and spinner was introduced to R6908 (a Mark IB) 27th November 1940 (so you have a point there)

Are you sure that shot was taken in August? I know, b&w undersides were used up until early june, and then later in December, but AFAIK during the BoB 92 squad had egg-green/blue undersides:

Also, please note the font of the ID letters.
I also have a photo of QJF, and it was clearly taken after the BoB:
