Note especially that these are all post the 1974 Health and Safety Act. (and the 1987 repeal of sections 61 to 76), this does not necessarily make for good historical analysis.

The BoB period RAF cannot be analyised in the absence of reference to photos, pilot notes aand combat reports from the period, which indicate widespread use of 100, and at this stage there is no positive evidence of 11 group or even 12 group use of 87 in spits or hurricanes after may/june 1940.
Not the point. The point being that military regs are often supplemented. These supplements can take several forms in that entire pages can be replaced, paragraphs, lines down to individual words stricken or added. Depending on who was in charge of updating the pages could be removed, pen and ink changes made, etc. Or they could have been shoved in the back. The point being that new printed manuals including the latest revisions ARE NOT CONSTANTLY CHURNED OUT LIKE SAUSAGES just because something has changed. Maybe now. Maybe in the civilian world. Not in the military world. Not during wartime and certainly not now. Someone is hanging their hat on the utter dreck that is doesn't say in his particular version of the pilots notes that the operational changes for 100 octane use don't seem to be included. Nor would they if the changes were made after the printing of that series. That's what supplements are for. Spewing some arcane nonsense about some 1919 treaty or something is just more noise trying to justify an position based on what he knows in the civilian aviation world and not based on wartime exigencies or military operation.
