It is a fact the RAF did not complete conversion to 100 Octane until around January 1941. That is evident in the Operating Notes.

Actually you mean January 1942, at a time where there was not a single operational squadron operating the Spitfire I.
The Pilot's Notes page from May 1940 simply doesn't specify which unit should use what fuel, so this doesn't tell us anything about how widespread the use was at that time.
