I believe the De Wilde round was in general use in the BoB. I don't know what the belting was, I thought it was 100% De Wilde? or tracer De Wilde mixed with non-tracer De Wilde? The De Wilde round was incendiary I am pretty sure.

I'm sure some exclusively Luftwaffe fliers would prefer the RAF equipped with 4.5 mm air rifles as sandblasters to polish their paint, but that's no more realistic than fitting Spitfires with 20x 20mm cannon.
