The Battle of Britain fighter marks were the I, Ia and II (possibly IIa...will have to check that). They were all camouflaged in green and brown on top (the BoB day fighter scheme...). Thus why the picture is puzzling...cool pic, but inaccurate. Nice pic...shame about the error...
Sorry, no - Early MkVa & bs did get the green/brown scheme to start off with; the grey/green came along later in the year (1941).

That guy's sig pic depicts MkVb's of 92 Sqn (QJ) in early '41, as he says over the Isle of Wight - The Needles to be precise.

The ranking of RAF officers in the game is all wrong - the Corporals would have been riggers/fitters, not pilots, no matter what the shortage may have been they simply weren't flight trained! Their contribution to the war effort is highly under rated none the less...

Flt Sgt/Pilot Officer/Flying Officer/Flt Lt/Sqn Ldr/Wing Cdr/Gr Capt (rarely flying) etc are the correct RAF ranks.
