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

As far as I can find the Night/White was intoduced in late 1938/early 1939 and became standard scheme from April 1939 to June 1940 when Sky was overpainted.
However some Sqn's still had the old scheme on aircraft in service prior to the battle.
Nice update though gents, the Spitfire camo shades look great, especially with the darker light source.
