I do not believe there are allied A/C which could be considered as the 108 counterpart, the role of the 108 was filled with a variety of A/C, single and multi-engine, drafted from the civilian fleet (like the Percival Proctor, or the DH-89)...
We "miss" AFAIK BoB time advanced trainers both sides: Miles Master (probably more widespread in RAF than Harvard I) and Arado 96.
The counterpart of the present RAF Tiger Moth would be the Fw 44, the He 72 or the Kl 35 (the latter often used as JG hack during BoB), possibly the Bü 133...

Yep, you are correct - thought it was used for training but nope...
Anyway the Harvard would be good as it can be used as a trainer both for the RAF and the US air force (if they ever get in after the affair that can not be named
)
Well, the days of getting non-critical planes for free are probably over so I'd better roll up my sleeves and do a Harvard myself when the game is released as modding will be allowed, and then do a "First Light" campaign myself...
